GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MAITE CÁCERES delivered another commanding weekend at Homestead-Miami, sweeping three consecutive P2 finishes despite bold tire preservation strategy that limited practice running. Qualified on front row, immediately faster than field.
  • The Uruguayan matched championship leader Cam Becker’s pace across all conditions—dry and wet—consistently running sub-1:28 laptimes while building 20-second gaps to third place. Only driver threatening Becker’s dominance.
  • Race three delivered season’s most intense battle: CÁCERES and Becker traded positions repeatedly, separated by 0.020 seconds at times. She set fastest lap multiple times but ultimately lost by 0.092 seconds after epic duel.
  • CÁCERES previously became first Uruguayan woman to win in F4 machinery at this venue. Running Formula FARA to gain race mileage ahead of full Toyota GR Cup campaign with RAFA Racing.
