• CARRIE SCHREINER marked her successful return to ADAC GT Masters at Lausitzring after a three-year absence, partnering with Audi debutant Alain Valente to score her first championship points since 2020. Despite setup struggles in practice that left the Land Motorsport team playing catch-up, the duo methodically improved throughout the weekend, with Valente qualifying 11th in the dry before both drivers delivered solid race performances.
• The breakthrough came in Sunday’s rain-soaked second race, where SCHREINER’s wet weather driving prowess shined despite her own modest assessment of her rain skills. Starting 11th, she capitalized on early chaos and strategic pit stops to climb through the field, at times matching the pace of the pole-sitter before settling into a well-earned seventh place finish that she defended against charging competitors in treacherous conditions.
• What makes this comeback even more impressive is the partnership dynamics – SCHREINER acknowledged that Valente was learning both a new car and manufacturer, having switched from Ferrari to Audi. The team’s ability to improve the car setup throughout the weekend, combined with a post-qualifying Balance of Performance adjustment that favored the Audi, set up their Sunday success and has SCHREINER optimistic heading to Zandvoort in June.
