GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ALEXANDRA VATEVA earned her full-time 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany seat the hard way – progressing through Porsche’s talent pipeline from GT4 racing in 2023 to securing multiple podiums and class victories across international series. Her breakthrough came with dominant performances in Porsche Sprint Challenge Benelux, where she swept both races at Spa and claimed an overall victory that turned heads in the paddock.
  • The Bulgarian driver made history as the first woman to compete in Porsche Cup Middle East, proving she belongs on track with multiple class podiums and a top-five overall finish. While technical issues derailed her Benelux campaign, VATEVA’s resilience showed in her Carrera Cup Germany debut appearances, where she secured a top-20 finish and rookie podium despite jumping into one of the world’s most competitive one-make series mid-season.
  • VATEVA’s partnership with Target Competition for 2026 represents the payoff for years of methodical progression through Porsche’s development program and her “Supported by the Iron Dames” backing. With eight rounds starting at Imola in April, she’ll pilot the new 992.2 Cup car in what she calls “a huge step forward” – and based on her track record of turning opportunities into results, we’re here for this ride.

UPCOMING:

  • Porsche Carrera Cup Germany Season Opener – Imola (April 2026)
  • Eight-Round Championship Campaign with Target Competition
