• MARIA HERRERA claimed the top spot at Cremona’s WorldWCR test with a 1:40.503 lap time, finding her confidence again after 67 laps across two days. Her Klint Forward Racing teammate ROBERTA PONZIANI secured second place with significant improvement from day one to day two, showing the team’s strong foundation heading into the season opener.
• JESSICA HOWDEN delivered the most impressive turnaround, rocketing from twelfth place on day one to fifth overall—a massive improvement that shows what dedication and setup work can accomplish. Meanwhile, ASTRID MADRIGAL made notable progress despite limited morning-only sessions, improving her time by over 0.6 seconds to claim fourth place.
• The competition is tightening up exactly as we hoped—the top three are separated by just 0.280 seconds, and the mid-pack is denser than ever. Rookie AVALON LEWIS showed consistent improvement to finish eighth, while LUCY MICHEL logged the most track time with 94 laps, proving that seat time translates to speed when the season kicks off at Assen next Friday.
