GRRL! SUMMARY:
- TATIANA CALDERON delivered NASCAR Brasil’s first female victory at Curvelo after overcoming mechanical failures and 15th-place qualifying. The Colombian finished fourth in race one, then capitalized on leaders’ collision to control race two under intense pressure.
- The SG28 Racing driver’s weekend turnaround showcased elite restart execution and racecraft. Starting third via reverse grid, CALDERON seized the lead when frontrunners crashed, maintaining composure to secure playoff qualification among 12 championship contenders.
- CALDERON follows Italian Arianna Casoli, who became NASCAR Brasil’s first female competitor at the same circuit in 2024. The Colombian’s 2026 campaign already includes a GT Challenge of the Americas victory in Guyana with Nacent Racing.
- The historic breakthrough continues CALDERON’s multi-discipline international career spanning NASCAR and GT competition. She returns to GT racing next at Puebla for GT Challenge de Las Americas, backed by AVL Racetech, Escuderia Telmex, and Con Cora foundation.
UPCOMING:
- Tatiana Calderon competing at Puebla, Mexico in GT Challenge de Las Americas
