AVA DOBSON & MEGAN BRUCE Lead Women’s Charge at GB4 Silverstone Weekend

April 29, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

AVA DOBSON emerged as the weekend’s top female finisher with a P13 in the reverse-grid finale, showing impressive racecraft and consistency across all three races. The 16-year-old American’s strong pace—running competitive 2:03 lap times—proves she’s ready for her upcoming F1 Academy Wild Card debut in Miami, building on the momentum from her breakthrough top-10 finish at the season opener.
MEGAN BRUCE delivered the most consistent performance of the weekend, scoring points in multiple races and finishing P15 in Race 2 just 0.6 seconds behind Dobson. The second-year GB4 driver showed she’s learned from her misfortunes at Donington, with her KMR Sport team clearly finding the setup sweet spot that makes her a legitimate midfield threat race after race.
HOLLY MIALL secured her season-best P17 finish while rookies CAITLYN MCDANIEL and LILY WATKINS both broke personal barriers—McDaniel going under the 2:08 lap time barrier and Watkins improving to P19 in Race 2. Despite McDaniel’s early brake pedal setback in testing, both Americans showed the kind of steady progress that suggests we’ll see them fighting for points positions before season’s end.
