• LILOU WADOUX claimed her latest victory at Le Castellet in the ELMS LMGT3 class, driving the #50 Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 in just her second championship start. The 24-year-old French driver set the fastest lap of the weekend and executed a masterful final stint on worn tyres, defending against experienced gold and platinum-rated drivers to secure the win.
• The victory adds to WADOUX’s already impressive resume as Ferrari’s first-ever female factory driver. She previously became the first woman to win in FIA WEC at Spa 2023, followed by an IMSA LMP2 victory at Watkins Glen. Her adaptability shines across categories—from securing a Super GT podium in Japan (first woman in nearly 30 years) to dominating in multiple GT and prototype series.
• Looking ahead to her third Le Mans appearance, WADOUX remains characteristically grounded despite her rapid ascent in sports car racing. Now sitting second in ELMS LMGT3 points with teammates Riccardo Agostini and Custodio Toledo, she’s targeting consistent top-five finishes while building chemistry with her new lineup for the full season campaign.
