LÉNA BÜHLER Storms From 11th To Sixth In Opening Stint At Silverstone

September 15, 2026

• LÉNA BÜHLER delivered exceptional opening stint at Silverstone, recovering from 11th to sixth in dominant drive. The Swiss driver navigated multiple incidents cleanly, passed four competitors, and opened five-second gap before handing off to teammate Scoular.
• R-Ace GP’s #86 Duqueine faced critical power-cycle issue costing 30 seconds, then survived chaotic weather-induced pit strategy gambles. Team’s bold switch back to slicks proved decisive as track dried, enabling recovery from 19th.
• BÜHLER and Scoular salvaged eighth-place finish despite setbacks, marking return to points after Barcelona podium. Swiss driver’s consistent 1:57s pace and composure under pressure highlighted growing LMP3 credentials in second prototype season.
• Season finale looms at Portimão October 9-10, where duo aim positive conclusion after campaign marked by speed but plagued by misfortune including Le Castellet rear-wing failure, Road to Le Mans wheel failure, Spa frustrations.
