EVA NOLAN Drives from 19th to 9th in Rookie Porsche Debut at Silverstone

April 23, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

Rookie EVA NOLAN delivered a masterclass in adaptability during her Porsche Club Motorsport debut, climbing from 19th to 9th in treacherous wet conditions before finishing 12th in race one. While learning the car and series dynamics, she consistently improved her pace throughout the opening race, becoming the fastest driver on track by lap 15 – an impressive feat for someone making their first appearance in the championship.
FAYE NOBLE-EVANS faced a frustrating return to the series she’s previously conquered, with contact from another competitor spinning her out of race one on lap two. The former podium finisher and 2023 third-place championship finisher couldn’t showcase her usual front-running pace, ultimately retiring from both races due to damage and subsequent gearbox issues that cost her third gear.
The challenging Silverstone conditions proved to be the perfect testing ground for both drivers, with the damp National circuit layout new to the current championship era. NOLAN’s ability to find speed in changing conditions – improving by over a second per lap once dry running began in race two – suggests she’ll be one to watch as the season progresses and she gains more experience in the competitive one-make series.
