GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • VICKY PIRIA returned to full-time competition with authority, taking class victory in GT Cup Division 2 Pro-Am at Misano alongside teammate Matias Russo. Starting from second in class after solid qualifying sessions, the SP Racing duo capitalized on a rival’s puncture and maintained strong pace throughout the chaotic 3-hour endurance race to claim the win.
  • The all-female FAEMS TEAM lineup of FEDERICA LEVY, EMMA SEGATTINI, and JENNY SONZOGNI made their debut in the series, finishing a respectable fourth in GT Cup Division 2 AM class. Despite navigating a field of 42 cars and multiple safety car periods, the trio kept their #510 Porsche clean and gained valuable experience for the upcoming Monza round.
  • Both women’s efforts stood out in a race that lived up to PIRIA’s pre-race prediction of chaos, with multiple retirements, mechanical failures, and safety car periods creating what she described as feeling “like having raced eight sprint races.” The strong performances set up promising momentum for both the returning veteran and the debuting all-female squad heading into the next round.
