GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • HAPPINESSA’s home round at Oschersleben turned into a masterclass in resilience after her teammate damaged the car in an earlier race, leaving her to start race one six laps down. While that’s not exactly the homecoming gift you’d want, she still claimed the Lady Trophy and banked crucial seat time that would pay dividends.
  • Race two showcased exactly why we need more rookies like HAPPINESSA in the series. Starting 22nd, she immediately went to work, picking off Sven Van Laere on lap two and building a four-second gap. When the Belgian started closing back in during the final stages, she responded with a personal best lap time to defend her position – that’s veteran-level racecraft from someone in her first season.
  • The 20th-place finish (after a track limits penalty) might not grab headlines, but HAPPINESSA’s consistency is building something bigger. She’s now extended her Lady Trophy streak through the second half of the season while banking experience that’ll serve her well when the equipment cooperates. Sometimes the best stories aren’t about podiums – they’re about drivers who refuse to let circumstances define their weekends.
