• CARRIE SCHREINER made a triumphant return to GT3 racing at Valencia’s GT Winter Series, claiming two class victories and a second place after focusing on F1 Academy in 2024. Reuniting with Konrad Motorsport—the team she won the 2018 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East Series with—she proved that her single-seater detour only sharpened her skills. Her weekend started cautiously as she reacquainted herself with the Lamborghini Huracán GT3, but her pace improved with every session as the familiarity returned.
• The sprint races showcased SCHREINER’s racecraft under pressure, with both events featuring dramatic incidents that tested her adaptability. In the first race, she navigated a multi-car crash and subsequent restart to climb from fifth to fourth overall and second in class. The second sprint saw her dodge another opening-lap incident before engaging in fierce battles, ultimately passing competitors with clinical precision to secure her first class win of the season. Her aggressive yet calculated overtaking in Turn 4 demonstrated the tactical sharpness she’d developed during her F1 Academy campaign.
• The endurance race partnership with Danny Soufi delivered the weekend’s crowning achievement—a class victory and overall podium finish. SCHREINER handled the opening stint expertly, maintaining position through early chaos before handing over to Soufi during the pit window. Their strategic execution and Soufi’s pace allowed them to capitalize when the class-leading Aston Martin received a track limits penalty, inheriting the win and securing third place overall across all classes. The performance validated SCHREINER’s decision to return to GT racing while proving her versatility across different racing formats.
