• ASHLEY FREIBERG proved that championship pedigree translates across car classes, stepping up from her 2023 991 title to score an impressive second place in her 992 GT3 debut at Sebring. Despite putting together a last-minute deal with MDK Motorsports and having limited seat time, she immediately showed pace by qualifying third and making a brilliant start in race one to move into P2 on lap one.
• The defending champion’s racecraft shined when it mattered most, setting the fastest lap of race one on lap two while defending her runner-up position against a charging Paul Bocuse in a dramatic side-by-side finish. Her defensive driving under pressure paid off when a late caution secured her podium result, proving she could handle both the new car and intense wheel-to-wheel competition.
• FREIBERG backed up her opening race performance with consistent fourth-place finish in race two, showing the kind of steady improvement that made her a 991 champion with seven wins last season. Her weekend results put her third in the early 992 Pro/Am championship standings, setting up what should be an exciting title fight when the series heads to Barber Motorsports Park in late April.
