KAREN GAILLARD Claims Career-Best P7 & Rookie Podium at Valencia PCCF Round

September 26, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

KAREN GAILLARD delivered her career-best Porsche Carrera Cup France result with a strategic masterclass at Valencia, claiming P7 overall and her second rookie podium of the season. After a disappointing Race 1 where a front lock-up cost her positions, she bounced back brilliantly when wet weather chaos gave her team the perfect opportunity to showcase their pit strategy skills.
The Iron Dame’s experience in endurance racing proved crucial during the tricky wet-to-dry transition in Race 2. While others scrambled to change tires early, GAILLARD stayed patient and her Schumacher CLRT crew delivered a lightning pit stop that launched her from P11 to an incredible P2 overall before settling into her career-best P7 finish.
With momentum building ahead of the Le Castellet finale, GAILLARD heads to familiar territory where she’s already proven her pace this season with podium results in both Le Mans Cup and European Endurance Prototype Cup. The French venue represents her best shot yet at a breakthrough overall podium finish to cap off her strongest PCCF campaign.
