GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CARRIE SCHREINER kicked off her 2026 season with a respectable P5 finish at Portimao’s rain-soaked 6 Hours, showing impressive wet weather skills. Despite facing a drive-through penalty for an early restart overtake and getting stuck behind traffic during safety car periods, she consistently matched the leaders’ pace once she found her rhythm on slicks.
  • The Attempto Racing squad demonstrated tactical flexibility throughout the chaotic weekend, with SCHREINER’s teammates Florian Scholze and rookie Ariel Levi both delivering when it mattered. Levi particularly impressed during his GT3 debut, grabbing provisional pole and leading the race early on, while Scholze’s strategic tire choices in the final stint nearly secured P4 before Levi’s last-lap spin dashed their upgrade hopes.
  • SCHREINER’s charging drives through traffic impressed, consistently finding pace improvements and making bold overtaking moves like her Turn 14 pass on the Porsche with 90 minutes remaining. Her post-race comments revealed the measured confidence of someone who knows this P5 is just the foundation—she’s already eyeing Valencia next week, where she swept the podium last season and clearly expects to be back in contention.
