KAREN GAILLARD Wraps Rookie Porsche Carrera Cup France Season at Paul Ricard

October 11, 2025

• KAREN GAILLARD concluded her rookie Porsche Carrera Cup France season at Circuit Paul Ricard with typical determination, fighting back from a qualifying disappointment to finish P16 in Race 1 after contact dropped her to last, then securing P12 overall and P4 in rookie class for Race 2 – just missing that elusive podium by one position.
• The Swiss driver’s season showcased clear progression from early struggles to genuine pace, highlighted by her rookie podium at Dijon-Prenois, best-ever P7 finish at Valencia, and that dominant weekend in Porsche Sprint Challenge Suisse where she grabbed a win and two podiums at Spielberg – proving she’s got the speed when everything clicks.
• While contact incidents beyond her control cost valuable opportunities (looking at you, Joran Leneutre in Race 1), GAILLARD consistently demonstrated the kind of racecraft that matters – rocket starts, smart recovery drives, and the ability to pick off competitors when the door opens, setting herself up perfectly for a stronger 2026 campaign.
