LILOU WADOUX Claims Maiden IMSA Pole, SHEENA MONK Crashes at Road America

August 4, 2026

• LILOU WADOUX claimed her first IMSA pole position at Road America on debut, becoming the first woman to start from pole in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in eight years aboard the #21 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3.
• The French driver dominated early proceedings, leading GTD while battling GTD Pro entries and posting fastest class laps before a powertrain infringement penalty dropped her from podium contention to eleventh position.
• WADOUX delivered an outstanding two-hour opening double stint, consistently running sub-2:07 laps and overtaking multiple GTD Pro competitors before handing over to Simon Mann in eighth after the penalty recovery drive.
• SHEENA MONK suffered a heavy crash at the Kink after LMP2 contact, triggering the first Full Course Yellow that compressed the field and erased WADOUX’s early advantage.
• Additional penalties for Antonio Fuoco and unfortunate timing left AF Corse P11 after a pace-setting weekend, with WADOUX’s pole position marking her fourth IMSA start and third career victory earlier at Sebring.
