March 7, 2026
GRRL! SUMMARY:
- LÉNA BÜHLER made history in 2025 by becoming the first woman to win a Michelin Le Mans Cup race outright, taking victory during the prestigious Road to Le Mans weekend at Circuit de la Sarthe in what proved to be the defining moment of her stellar rookie prototype campaign.
- The Swiss driver’s impressive transition from single-seaters to endurance racing delivered four top-five finishes in 2025, including recovery drives at Barcelona and Spa-Francorchamps that showcased her racecraft and speed – she was setting fastest laps while fighting back through the field after early contact.
- BÜHLER brings serious credentials to her new R-Ace GP partnership, having been F1 Academy vice-champion and the first woman signed to the Sauber Academy, plus Formula E testing experience with Mahindra – she’s already been working with the team in Asian Le Mans Series prep showing podium-worthy pace before technical gremlins struck.
UPCOMING:
- 2026 Michelin Le Mans Cup – Six rounds at Europe’s premier circuits
- Le Mans three-hour support race during 24 Hours weekend
