COURTNEY CRONE Claims Double Podium Weekend at VIR in GSX Battle

August 26, 2026

• COURTNEY CRONE delivered third and second at VIR, extending her rookie GT4 podium streak. The CarBahn BMW driver defended brilliantly in Race 1 before a Turn 17 mistake dropped her to third behind Chaves.
• Inherited Race 2 lead after Workman’s formation lap spin, but championship leader recovered from last to first within four corners. CRONE remained within striking distance early but settled into controlled second.
• Consistency defined CRONE’s weekend—qualified third, ran 1:55.3s race pace, and built 50-second gap over third place in Race 2. Sits second in standings with 2,900 points heading to season finale.
• Former F1 Academy competitor CRONE has yet to win in debut GT4 season but delivered seven podiums through nine rounds. Road Atlanta finale October 1-3 offers final chance at maiden GSX victory.
