ANNA CECCHI Claims Career Best Second at COTA Plus Fifth Podium in Six Races

May 20, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ANNA CECCHI delivered a masterclass weekend at Circuit of the Americas, securing her career-best second place finish in race one and following it up with third in race two. That’s now five podium finishes from just six races this season – the kind of consistency that turns heads and builds championships. Despite being relatively new to the series, she’s been pacing the Cayman Pro/Am field like she owns the place.
The Charlie Hayes Racing driver showed serious pace throughout the weekend, topping practice sessions and consistently running in the hunt for overall podium positions, not just class wins. Her race craft was on full display as she methodically worked her way through traffic, applied pressure when it mattered, and protected her equipment when strategy called for it. When Loni Unser’s mechanical failure opened the door in race one, CECCHI was perfectly positioned to capitalize.
What’s impressive isn’t just the results – it’s how CECCHI is earning them. She’s been fastest through technical sectors, setting personal bests under pressure, and holding her ground against experienced competitors trying to muscle past. Her ability to maintain podium contention while managing gaps both ahead and behind shows the kind of racing intelligence that separates good drivers from great ones. Currently sitting second in the championship standings, she’s proving that talent rises regardless of experience level.
