• LÆRKE RØNN dominated the Mantorp Park weekend with double pole positions and front-running pace in her rookie GT season, but a controversial 10-second penalty in the finale dropped her from championship winner to ninth place finish. The Danish driver still claimed Vice-Champion honors with two wins and ten podiums, proving that her transition from single-seaters to GT4 machinery was anything but a fluke.
• EMMA WIGROTH delivered the ultimate comeback story, returning from a heavy qualifying crash at Rudskogen to score a podium finish in the season finale and secure third place in the overall championship standings. Running with WestCoast Racing, she climbed from fifth on the grid to third after the penalty chaos, showing exactly the kind of resilience that separates the good drivers from the great ones.
• The championship battle went down to the wire with Rønn and Rasmus Vendelbo making contact on lap three of the deciding race, leading to the stewards’ intervention that ultimately handed Vendelbo the title. While the penalty decision will be debated, what can’t be argued is that two women finishing in the top three of a major European championship sends a clear message about the talent pipeline Porsche has developed.
