GRRL! SUMMARY:
- JEM HEPWORTH secured career-best sixth in Pro class at Laguna Seca with substitute co-driver Tyler Gonzalez, advancing multiple positions through smart incident avoidance and consistent pace in damp Race 2 conditions.
- TATIANA CALDERÓN missed Laguna Seca due to scheduling conflict after partnering HEPWORTH for season opener at Sebring, where the all-female RAFA Racing duo earned top-ten in their Pro class debut.
- HEPWORTH demonstrated maturity avoiding Turn 5 incident in Race 1 despite dropping positions, then capitalized on chaotic Race 2 start and fire-related yellow to climb from 12th to seventh before handing off.
- The sophomore Pro class campaign shows clear progression for HEPWORTH, banking seven championship points at Laguna Seca ahead of Watkins Glen round scheduled for June 25-27.
UPCOMING:
- Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America at Watkins Glen, June 25-27, 2026
