ALEXANDRA VATEVA Claims Fourth in Competitive Qatar Porsche Carrera Cup Field

November 28, 2025

• ALEXANDRA VATEVA delivered a solid performance for Splendid Racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East practice session, securing fourth place in a competitive field. While we’re still waiting for more women to break through in the top-tier series, seeing VATEVA mix it up with the established runners shows the talent is there – we just need more opportunities.
• The practice session saw Seven X Seven’s Taichi Watarai claim pole with a 1:58.969, followed by Caleb Sumich and Khaled Alahmadi. VATEVA’s fourth-place finish puts her in striking distance of a podium challenge, proving that when women get proper seat time in competitive machinery, they can run with anyone in the field.
• While the weekend’s Formula 1 and Formula 2 sessions were dominated by the usual suspects, VATEVA’s presence in the Porsche support series highlights how grassroots championships continue to provide crucial development opportunities. These series might not get the headlines, but they’re where careers are built and where we see the next generation of talent proving themselves race by race.
