GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DORIANE PIN executed a masterful recovery stint in torrential rain at Silverstone, clawing back from 11th and effectively a lap down to sixth in LMP2 ProAm before handing off to Verschoor for the closing charge.
  • The young French driver navigated multiple Full Course Yellows, rapidly deteriorating conditions, and critical tire strategy decisions to salvage what looked like a compromised race after teammate Roda struggled early with pace.
  • PIN’s composed performance during the worst weather—circulating in the 2:03s while others spun off—proved crucial as Verschoor ultimately delivered fourth place, keeping the championship within six points with one round remaining at Portimao.
  • The result marked PIN’s fourth top-five in five ELMS rounds after earlier podiums at Barcelona and Paul Ricard, plus a heartbreaking near-victory at Le Mans ended only by late mechanical failure.

UPCOMING:

  • European Le Mans Series finale at Portimao, October 9-10, 2026
