GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • RIANNA O’MEARA-HUNT coached journalists through Circuito de Navarra in northern Spain, demonstrating the $1.05M Valhalla’s capabilities. Her patient approach emphasized exploiting high-speed downforce through early braking and controlled throttle application.
  • The pro driver’s technique unlocked the Valhalla’s potential: advising brake-to-throttle patience at apex and hard early braking to maximize aerodynamic grip before speeds drop.
  • O’MEARA-HUNT showcased how the 1,064-hp hybrid supercar’s F1-derived tech—active aero producing 1,340 lbs downforce, torque-vectoring AWD, brake-by-wire—delivers confidence-inspiring track performance without typical AWD steering numbness.
