GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MARIA HERRERA laid down the law at Assen’s season opener, claiming pole with a commanding 1’48.146s lap that left the field scrambling for scraps. The 2024 runner-up didn’t just win – she dominated by over a second, sending a clear message that she’s not settling for second place again this year.
- Spanish strength runs deep as BEATRIZ NELIA and SARA SANCHEZ completed a top-three lockout, proving WorldWCR isn’t just about individual talent but regional racing programs that are clearly doing something right. NELIA steadily chipped away at HERRERA’s margin but still came up short, while SANCHEZ secured the final front-row spot with solid consistency.
- The international flavor showed up strong with AVALON LEWIS leading the charge for New Zealand in fourth and TAYLA RELPH representing Australia in sixth, both making statements that this championship truly spans continents. Meanwhile, CHLOE JONES came within 0.025 seconds of row two – the kind of margin that shows just how competitive this field has become in year two of WorldWCR.
