GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MICHELLE GATTING ran third in Bronze Cup for most of the night at Spa before technical issues required lengthy repairs, dropping the #97 Rutronik Racing Porsche from podium contention to seventh in class.
  • CARRIE SCHREINER made her Spa 24 debut, steadily climbing through the Bronze Cup field in the #88 Tresor Attempto Racing Audi before an overnight engine failure after 179 laps forced retirement from the race.
  • Both drivers navigated treacherous opening-lap chaos at Pouhon, multiple safety car periods, and nighttime thunderstorms that created wet conditions, demonstrating their endurance racing experience from previous Nürburgring and Le Mans campaigns.
  • GATTING’s squad qualified 11th in Bronze Cup despite red-flag disruptions, while SCHREINER’s team started eighth, both tackling a 69-car field in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius that forced single-stint strategies.
