GRRL! SUMMARY:
- GOSIA RDEST delivered a stunning comeback at Nogaro, securing two second-place finishes just six months postpartum. The Polish driver qualified second and battled through intense multi-class traffic alongside teammate Paul Alberto.
- Race one saw RDEST inherit second after a pit stop deficit, then close a three-second gap under Safety Car before finishing runner-up through dense traffic in the final laps.
- RDEST seized the lead on lap one of race two with a brilliant pass on Wallgren, defending aggressively through two Safety Car restarts before handing off from first position.
- A slower pit stop dropped the #3 Alpine behind, but Alberto’s chase secured second after Herrero’s penalty. The double podium positions RDEST among early championship contenders heading to Dijon-Prenois in May.
UPCOMING:
- Alpine Elf Cup Series at Dijon-Prenois, May 16-17, 2026
