GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MICHELLE GATTING heads into the WEC Bahrain finale carrying the confidence of her 2023 victory at the same venue, emphasizing how that triumph “will always stay in our hearts and minds” as she and her team prepare to finish the season strong with the best support behind them.
  • While Porsche’s factory efforts dominate the championship battle in Hypercar with Kévin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor still fighting for the drivers’ title despite sitting 21 points back, GATTING represents the LMGT3 category where customer teams continue Porsche’s competitive presence across multiple classes.
  • The eight-hour Bahrain finale serves as both a championship decider and farewell for Porsche Penske Motorsport’s factory WEC program, with GATTING’s determination to “do everything in our power to finish the season on a high” reflecting the broader Porsche commitment to end their current WEC era with maximum impact.

UPCOMING:

  • WEC 8 Hours of Bahrain – November 6-8, 2025
  • Championship finale at Bahrain International Circuit
