GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • AIVA ANAGNOSTIADIS turned her second visit to Portimao into a masterclass in progress, gaining a staggering 25 positions across the weekend while battling competitively in the midfield. The young Australian used her previous circuit experience to lap just two seconds off the pace in testing – a massive improvement from her earlier visit that showed she’s learning fast in European single-seaters.
  • Weekend highlights included an absolutely stellar opening lap in Race 1 where she gained 11 positions through smart driving and incident avoidance, plus a brilliant final-lap double overtake in the sprint race. Even when contact and damage tried to derail her progress, AIVA showed the kind of racecraft that gets you noticed – catching back up to the field under safety cars and consistently setting competitive lap times when it mattered.
  • The Cram Motorsport driver’s race pace was the real story here, with personal best times and sub-two-tenth gaps to competitors ahead proving she belongs in this field. Her best finish of 25th in the sprint race represents solid points-paying territory, and the way she pressured more experienced drivers while navigating multiple incidents shows the kind of racecraft that builds careers in European racing.

  • Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship – Circuito de Navarra (March 8-9)
