GRRL! SUMMARY:
- LETICIA BUFONI delivered her strongest Porsche Cup Brasil performance to date at Interlagos, qualifying fifth and running genuine podium pace throughout the race before late contact with front-end damage forced her to pit and settle for P14—a heartbreaking end to what should have been her breakthrough result.
- The Brazilian skateboarder-turned-racer showed serious speed in her second season, consistently lapping seven-tenths faster than competitors ahead and mounting aggressive attacks for a top-three finish. Her pace advantage was clear as she closed on fourth-place Ferrer, proving she belongs in podium fights rather than just making up numbers.
- After starting fifth in a competitive field separated by just one second in qualifying, BUFONI held her ground through early pressure and began her charge forward with decisive overtakes. Her racecraft has clearly evolved since her 2024 debut season, where she focused on learning the basics—now she’s genuinely threatening established runners.
UPCOMING:
- Porsche Cup Brasil Round 4 – Portimao, Portugal (June 28-29)
