GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ and CINDY GUDET wrapped their 2025 GT4 European Series campaign with a Pro-Am podium at Barcelona, marking their fourth top-three finish in the final five races. The all-female Matmut Evolution duo showed serious pace throughout the weekend, running consistently in the overall top ten of a stacked 40-car field and proving they belong at the sharp end of one of the world’s most competitive GT4 series.
  • The momentum shift in their season’s second half was impressive – after early struggles, JÍLKOVÁ and GUDET found their groove with podium finishes at Misano, double podiums at Nürburgring, and this Barcelona finale. Their 103 championship points secured fifth in Pro-Am standings, but more importantly, they demonstrated the racecraft that makes all-female teams a force to be reckoned with rather than a feel-good story.
  • Sunday’s race 2 crash wasn’t on them – GUDET got punted wide into gravel at the start, then collected again by another car at Turn 5, sending their Toyota hard into the barriers. It was a frustrating end to what had been their strongest weekend pace-wise, but crashes happen when you’re racing at the front. The real story is how this duo evolved from podium contenders to consistent front-runners who earned their respect the hard way.

UPCOMING:

  • 2026 GT4 European Series calendar TBA
  • Off-season testing programs begin
