GRRL! SUMMARY:
- CINDY GUDET converted pole-worthy qualifying pace into commanding performances, taking second Saturday after a late three-tenth margin defense against Jimenez, then dominating Sunday wire-to-wire after inheriting the lead when Briche suffered technical failure.
- The Frenchwoman’s breakthrough continues a remarkable turnaround for the #78 crew after early-season frustration at Nogaro and Dijon, where front-running speed repeatedly met accidents and mechanical gremlins before Spa’s post-penalty-reversal victory.
- GUDET displayed genuine pace advantage throughout Magny-Cours, posting fastest opening sectors in qualifying and consistently purple sectors during Sunday’s race while building multi-second gaps before handing off to co-driver Leneutre for controlled finishes.
- Back-to-back podiums position the Akkodis ASP Toyota pairing as legitimate Pro-Am contenders heading into Paul Ricard finale, finally converting their demonstrable speed into championship-relevant results after enduring circumstantial setbacks early in 2026 campaign.
UPCOMING:
- FFSA GT Championship finale at Circuit Paul Ricard, Le Castellet, October 10-11, 2026
