GRRL! SUMMARY:

LAURA HAYES delivered when it counted at Barber, putting her No. 606 Thunder Bunny Racing BMW M4 GT4 on Am class pole with a 1:29.775 that landed her 12th overall – proving once again that the women in this series aren’t just participating, they’re leading from the front.
While the headlines focused on Loek Hartog’s overall pole and Michael Cooper’s Q2 dominance, HAYES quietly put together the kind of performance that shows exactly why we need more women getting proper shots in competitive machinery across all GT4 America classes.
The weekend’s double-header format gives HAYES two chances to convert that pole position into silverware, with Race 1 kicking off Saturday evening and offering live coverage that we hope captures her charge through the Am field at one of America’s most challenging road courses.
