GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LILOU WADOUX never took the wheel at Spa after teammate Toledo’s heavy opening-stint crash destroyed the #50 Ferrari, marking her second DNF without a single racing lap this ELMS season—another momentum killer for the factory driver.
  • The Frenchwoman’s Imola brilliance—charging from ninth to third after an early penalty—showcased raw pace that her 2026 campaign has cruelly denied her the chance to display consistently across full race distances.
  • Toledo qualified fourth in treacherous wet-dry Spa conditions and ran clean in the LMGT3 top three through multiple Safety Cars before traffic and an LMP2 prototype unsettled him into a race-ending barrier strike.
  • Richard Mille AF Corse’s title defense has collapsed from 2025 LMGT3 contention into a reliability nightmare—calendar clashes, teammate incidents, and fuel strategy drops have sabotaged WADOUX’s season before Silverstone’s September finale.

UPCOMING:

  • 4 Hours of Silverstone – September 13, 2026
