ANNA CECCHI Makes History as First Female Cayman Class Champion

September 13, 2026

• ANNA CECCHI claimed the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America Cayman championship at Road Atlanta with 726 points, becoming the first female class champion in series history after six wins and 12 podiums from 14 races.
• The Charlie Hayes Racing pilot entered the finale leading Keith Grant, securing P2 in Race 1 after intense wheel-to-wheel combat before dominating the rain-soaked finale from pole for the title-clinching victory.
• CECCHI’s championship followed mid-season consistency including consecutive victories at VIR and double wins at Road America, plus early-season dominance with back-to-back Sebring triumphs and four straight opening-round podiums.
• Previous female challengers CHLOE CHAMBERS and CAROLINE CANDAS came close historically, but CECCHI’s sustained performance earned her continued selection for Porsche North America’s Female Driver Development Program alongside the historic crown.
