July 28, 2025
GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ELLA LLOYD absolutely owned the Challenge Cup classification across three races, claiming two category wins and her first overall podium of 2025 with a second-place finish in Race 2. Her relentless drive saw her climb from eighth on the grid to hunt down leaders, posting fastest laps and proving she belongs in the top tier. Lloyd now sits second in Challenge Cup standings and climbed to 13th overall – the kind of consistent excellence that separates contenders from also-rans.
- CHLOE CHONG delivered what might have been her breakthrough British F4 performance, qualifying sixth with a stunning final sector that left everyone taking notice. Her pace throughout Race 1 was genuinely top-five caliber, consistently posting personal bests before cruel luck struck in the final corner collision. Even starting from pit lane in the finale after crash repairs, she fought back to the points – the kind of speed and determination that promises bigger things ahead.
- The supporting cast showed serious depth with NINA GADEMAN making impressive gains from 20th to finish 14th and 15th in the final two races, while EMMA FELBERMAYR charged from 22nd to 15th in Race 2 with top-10 worthy pace. ALBA LARSEN kept it clean and consistent throughout the weekend chaos, scoring valuable Challenge Cup points to maintain fourth in standings. Even ESMEE KOSTERMAN, despite mechanical gremlins ending her weekend early, showed the kind of determination that makes this cohort so compelling to watch.
