September 21, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MICHELLE GATTING returned to Carrera Cup Scandinavia after 12 years, qualifying eighth and seventh across two sessions while closing to within four-tenths of pole despite limited sprint racing experience recently.
  • The Iron Dames veteran progressively improved throughout practice and racing at Mantorp Park, gaining confidence with each session and demonstrating strong pace in both wet and dry conditions against established regulars.
  • GATTING finished sixth on track in Race 2 after patient overtaking moves, later promoted to fourth via post-race penalties for competitors’ jump starts, marking an impressive comeback performance.
  • With Iron Dames’ 2026 program reduced to just Dubai 24 Hours and Spa entries, GATTING seized the guest drive opportunity while sharing Porsche Racing Experience duties with Swedish royalty.
