• ALEXANDRA VATEVA made an impressive Porsche Carrera Cup Germany debut at Red Bull Ring, securing second place among rookies in race 1 and her first top-20 finish. The Bulgarian driver, supported by Iron Dames, showed remarkable adaptability in her pink-and-white Proton Huber Competition Porsche 992 GT3 Cup, making a successful step up from the Benelux series where she had been competing.
• VATEVA’s rapid progression through Porsche’s racing ranks has been nothing short of impressive – from a Cayman GT4 in 2023 to making history as the first female driver in Porsche Cup Middle East in 2025. Her weekend at Red Bull Ring demonstrated genuine pace, running competitive times in the 1:33.2s and showing smart racecraft to avoid incidents while capitalizing on opportunities to move up positions.
• Despite qualifying P22 in challenging mixed conditions, VATEVA showed her fighting spirit with strong starts in both races and tactical positioning. While race 2 ended with an off-track excursion, she maintained pace throughout and expressed confidence heading to the season finale at Hockenheim, plus earning selection for the first-ever F1 Academy rookie test at Navarra – proof that the right people are taking notice of her talent.
