JANINA SCHALL Claims Junior Trophy Bronze in 24-Hour Endurance Battle

July 23, 2025

• JANINA SCHALL and the ADAC Juniorteam Südbayern delivered a masterclass in endurance racing strategy, clinching bronze in the Junior Trophy classification at the three-hour mark of the 24h of Wackersdorf. While they eventually finished 12th overall and 4th in class among nearly 40 teams, that early podium result proved their team had the pace to run with the best—something we’ve come to expect from drivers who refuse to be defined by age categories.
• The race showcased exactly why endurance racing rewards consistency over flash. SCHALL’s team navigated multiple safety periods, technical challenges from competitors, and the complex pit procedures that can make or break a 24-hour campaign. Their fastest lap of 58.567 seconds was just under a second off the race pace—a gap that speaks to genuine competitiveness, not charity positioning in a junior class.
• What stands out is how SCHALL stepped up during the crucial night stint, taking on a double stint at 2:30 a.m. when races are won and lost. This wasn’t ceremonial participation—she was trusted with maintaining their class position during the most demanding phase of endurance racing. The fact that they held their ground through the night and into the final hours shows a driver ready for whatever comes next in her racing career.
