GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MIKI KOYAMA made her Nürburgring debut count, earning her coveted Nordschleife permit while pulling double duty in two Toyota Supra GT4 entries. Despite starting from 81st and 98th positions, she consistently posted the fastest laps in both cars and finished 7th and 9th in SP8T class — securing her eligibility for the legendary 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
- The GIRLSONLY team showcased their resilience against motorsport’s cruel lottery, suffering three punctures that derailed what could have been a stellar performance. JANINA SCHALL gained positions early before the first tire failure on lap 5, and despite CARRIE SCHREINER posting the team’s fastest lap during recovery, a final-lap puncture crushed their charge to finish 8th in SP8T class.
- JASMIN PREISIG dominated the AT3 class through strategic execution and consistent pace until a collision with an Aston Martin GT3 forced her retirement while leading — a heartbreaking end that keeps her tied atop the Ladies Trophy standings with Schall. Meanwhile, DESIREE MÜLLER delivered the most complete performance, avoiding the chaos to finish 10th in Cup3 class and narrow the championship gap.
