March 23, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LILOU WADOUX broke a decade-long drought, becoming the first woman to win Sebring since CHRISTINA NIELSEN’s 2016 GTD triumph. Driving the AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo with Mann and Fuoco, she overcame three drive-throughs to claim the marque’s first Evo victory.
  • SHEENA MONK trails Bronze leader Fidani by just 140 points in the tightest Bob Akin Award battle in recent years. The newly confirmed full-time driver sits tied with Hedman, setting up a compelling season-long fight for GTD’s top amateur honor.
  • NIELSEN’s 2016 Sebring win in a Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 488 GT3 represented the previous benchmark for female success at the Florida endurance classic, making WADOUX’s breakthrough particularly significant after a ten-year gap in women’s victories at the iconic venue.

UPCOMING:

  • Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach – April 18, 2026 (GTP and GTD classes only, 100-minute sprint)
  • WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca – May 3, 2026 (GTD Pro class returns)
  • Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen – June 28, 2026 (Next Michelin Endurance Cup race, LMP2 returns)
