February 4, 2026

• ALEXANDRA VATEVA delivered another strong performance at Yas Marina Circuit, securing her second fourth-place finish of the season and matching her personal best result in the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East. The Bulgarian driver continues to build on her historic status as the first woman to compete in the series, showing consistent front-running pace in her second season with the championship.
• Racing under the Splendid Racing banner in the Pro class, VATEVA demonstrated impressive qualifying speed throughout the weekend, securing sixth on the grid for race one before delivering her strongest qualifying performance of the season for race two with a fourth-place grid position. Her 1:54.260 lap time put her on the second row, just half a second off pole position and crucially ahead of several rivals who had previously held her up in race conditions.
• The weekend showcased VATEVA’s growing skill and consistency with her clean starts in both races and competitive pace throughout. In the final race, she ran nose-to-tail with the top three drivers and was among only four drivers consistently lapping in the 1:55s, showing her speed is now matching the series’ front-runners. Holding 75 championship points and sixth in the standings, she heads to the next round at Bahrain’s F1 support event with serious momentum.
