ISABELL RUSTAD Claims Career-Best 6th Under Midnight Sun at Drivecenter Arena

June 17, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ISABELL RUSTAD notched her career-best sixth-place finish in the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia’s midnight race at Drivecenter Arena, improving from her previous best of seventh at Anderstorp. The Norwegian rookie showed steady progress in qualifying, earning spots in both races’ top-eight shootout and maintaining consistent pace in the ultra-competitive series driving for Fragus Motorsport.
Under the unique midnight sun conditions, RUSTAD delivered composed drives in both races, making a lightning start in Race 1 to briefly claim sixth before settling for seventh, then capitalizing on racecraft in the late-evening Race 2 to secure her breakthrough result. Her ability to manage tire performance and find speed when it counted has been a key development goal this season.
RUSTAD currently sits seventh in championship standings with 37 points, making her the series’ top rookie with just five points separating her from fifth overall. Her methodical approach to learning the demanding 992 GT3 Cup car while consistently reaching the finish line positions her well for the upcoming technical challenge at Jyllandsringen, where she’ll look to continue her upward trajectory.
