• BELÉN GARCÍA delivered another podium finish at Mugello’s Ultimate Cup round, placing second after leading the final stages before being passed on the last lap. Despite having zero experience at the Tuscan circuit, she showed consistent pace throughout her stint, climbing from ninth to the overall lead during the race’s middle phase.
• The ANS Motorsport #71 crew proved they’re genuine title contenders with García and teammates Adrien Chila and Paul Trojani executing flawless strategy. Their qualifying performance put them fourth on the grid, just half a second off pole, and they led multiple practice sessions—showing the pace is there for wins.
• García’s championship momentum continues building after her third-place finish at Le Castellet, marking consecutive podiums in her return to prototype racing. Her measured assessment reveals both confidence and realism: acknowledging the track inexperience cost her peak performance while recognizing the team’s winning trajectory heading to Portimão.
