GRRL! SUMMARY:
- GOSIA RDEST secured her maiden Alpine Elf Cup victory at Dijon-Prenois in only her third race since returning post-childbirth, becoming the first Polish driver and first mother to win the championship after a perfectly managed Race 1.
- Second woman ever to win Alpine Elf Cup after Lilou Wadoux’s 2021 triumph, RDEST dominated traffic management and race strategy despite racing Dijon for the first time, now sitting second in championship standings with 80 points.
- Race 2 brought another podium after RDEST charged from fourth to lead, executing flawless passes and traffic navigation before teammate Paul Alberto narrowly lost victory by 0.085 seconds in dramatic final-lap battle with Romain Monti.
- RDEST’s comeback campaign follows six-month hiatus after second child’s birth, with immediate pace demonstrated through double runner-up finishes at Nogaro season opener alongside new teammate Alberto in endurance-format Alpine Cup races.
UPCOMING:
- Alpine Elf Cup Series – Spa-Francorchamps, 19-21 June 2026
