GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MARIAM DAVITIDZE becomes the first Georgian woman to compete in NASCAR, joining Kolkhi GRT for the 2026 Euro Series OPEN division with clear ambitions to claim the Lady Trophy. The 21-year-old business student brings a diverse racing background from karting championships to auto slalom nationals.
  • Her path to NASCAR runs through serious credentials: BTM Open Cup titles, international karting experience in Germany’s KTWB Championship, and representing Georgia twice at the FIA Motorsport Games. We’re not talking about a publicity stunt here.
  • The Lady Trophy battle just got more interesting with reigning champion VANESSA NEUMANN getting a legitimate challenger who’s already declaring her intention to win. Kolkhi GRT isn’t playing around either – this Georgian team is positioning themselves as serious European contenders, not just happy to participate. When the season opens April 18-19 at Valencia, we’ll see if DAVITIDZE’s confidence matches her results in what could be a breakthrough moment for Georgian motorsport.

UPCOMING:

  • NASCAR Euro Series Season Opener – April 18-19, Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Valencia
  • Lady Trophy Championship Battle – Throughout 2026 NASCAR Euro Series
