GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CÉLIA MARTIN and LINDSAY BREWER clawed back to eighth and ninth in ProAm at Spa after gearbox gremlins destroyed qualifying. The all-female Klausen Racing duo started midfield in their Ford GT Matech despite breakdowns in both qualifying sessions.
  • MARTIN delivered in Race 1, climbing from 10th to eighth in ProAm before red flag halted proceedings. The Iron Dames graduate overtook multiple rivals in darkness before Blanchimont crash ended running early, denying BREWER her driving stint entirely.
  • BREWER navigated cautious Race 2 start before multiple Safety Cars compressed field. The American, contesting her first European season, moved to ninth in class before handing off. MARTIN held position through chaotic final restart with just two racing laps remaining.
  • Technical reliability plagued the historic GT3 machine throughout Spa weekend. Gearbox issues limited practice running—critical handicap for BREWER learning the Belgian circuit. Parts sourcing challenges for first-gen GT3 machinery continue affecting preparation and performance consistency.
  • Paul Ricard opener netted fifth in ProAm despite similar technical woes. Le Mans round July 3-5 offers redemption on circuit where Ford GT historically excelled. Added experience and mileage positions duo for breakthrough result at legendary venue.

UPCOMING:

  • GT3 Revival Series at Le Mans, July 3-5, 2026
