LILOU WADOUX Delivers Spectacular Final Stint to Claim P5 at Watkins Glen

June 24, 2025

• LILOU WADOUX delivered one of her finest IMSA performances at Watkins Glen, charging from the back of the GTD field to finish fifth after a technical penalty sent their #21 AF Corse Ferrari to last place before the race even started. The French factory driver proved she belongs at the front, methodically picking off competitors in the final hour while showing pace that matched the fastest Ferraris on track.
• Starting from P20 due to an unplugged sensor violation, the AF Corse team faced an uphill battle that saw them climb as high as second before strategy calls and racing incidents dropped them back to P13 for WADOUX’s final stint. Rather than settling for damage control, she immediately went on the attack, passing multiple factory drivers including fellow Ferrari pilot Daniel Serra while proving she had the second-fastest Ferrari pace behind only Antonio Fuoco.
• WADOUX’s final-hour heroics showcased exactly why Ferrari keeps her in their factory lineup – she gained seven positions in the closing stages, capitalizing on penalties to other drivers while making decisive passes when it mattered most. Her ability to stay cool under pressure and deliver when the team needed it most turned what could have been a disappointing weekend into a statement drive that reinforced her status as one of the sport’s rising stars.
