GRRL! SUMMARY:
- CECILIA RABELO launched her 2026 title campaign with a statement-making double victory in the Sport Challenge class at Interlagos. Starting from class pole in Race 1, she executed perfect race management to secure sixth overall and first in class. Her composed drive through two safety car periods showed the kind of championship maturity that separates contenders from pretenders.
- Race 2 was where RABELO really flexed, converting overall pole position (thanks to grid inversion) into a commanding performance that had her controlling both the class battle and overall race flow. While others battled around her, she maintained focus on points accumulation rather than risky heroics – exactly the approach that wins championships. Her six-second margin over second-place Sport class runners proved she’s not just fast, she’s smart.
- This dominant weekend caps an impressive progression through motorsports categories for the Brazilian driver, who moved from Formula 4 success to GT racing mastery. Her recent IMSA debut at Daytona in Porsche GT4 machinery showed she’s thinking bigger picture, gaining valuable experience that clearly paid dividends back home. Two races, two wins, and early championship leadership – we’re watching someone who knows exactly where she’s heading.
UPCOMING:
- Porsche Sprint Challenge Brazil Round 2
