GRRL! SUMMARY:
- FRANCISCA QUEIROZ extended her championship lead with third and first-place finishes at Jarama, following her Portimão double victory. Despite qualifying third in class, she executed strategic pit timing and late-race pace.
- Race 1 saw QUEIROZ recover from third to nearly snatch second, finishing just 0.5 seconds behind Moura after staying out longer during stops and mounting a charging final stint through mixed-class traffic.
- Race 2 delivered QUEIROZ’s dominant performance: overtaking Diego Sirgado on lap 14 after intense wheel-to-wheel combat, then pulling 6.5 seconds clear by running a second per lap faster once leading.
- The Portuguese driver navigated challenges from faster Porsche Cup cars and recovering GTX machinery while managing class battles, demonstrating tactical maturity and raw pace across qualifying and both sprint races.
UPCOMING:
- Iberian Supercars – Vila Real street circuit, Portugal – July 10-12, 2026
