LAURA VILLARS and FEDERICA LEVY Score Top-10 in Italian GT Debut at Imola

April 29, 2026

• LAURA VILLARS, 28, brings diverse GT and prototype experience plus historic FIA presidential candidacy; partner FEDERICA LEVY, 21, secured class podium as 2025 Italian GT rookie before switching to Ferrari machinery.
• Chaotic Race 1 saw pit speeding penalty drop duo to P12 in AM class despite LEVY’s clean opening stint and VILLARS’ strong pace during bunched-field restarts under multiple Safety Cars.
• Race 2 breakthrough: VILLARS executed strategic longer stint, briefly running third in class before handing to LEVY, who navigated packed battles and late-race incidents for P8 class finish despite pit infringement penalty.
• MRNC12 pairing showed improving pace across 46-car field at Imola, managing reclassification from ProAm to AM and banking valuable experience ahead of Vallelunga round May 22-24.
