NICOLE DROUGHT heads to Jerez with 11-point championship lead

November 3, 2026

• NICOLE DROUGHT heads to Jerez holding an 11-point lead in the Spanish GTX AM Championship, with two title-deciding races across the final weekend of 6-8 November.
• The Tipperary driver and co-driver Lucas Fothergill scored a standout double class victory at Jarama in June, followed by second and third at Valencia to cement their standings lead.
• DROUGHT flags BOP headaches with the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS, particularly excessive front ride height hurting performance in tight sections — a real challenge at technical Jerez.
• Simulator work has been DROUGHT’s weapon for the unfamiliar Jerez layout; she aims to hit the ground running in Friday testing before the title showdown.
• A six-time champion across multiple disciplines, DROUGHT’s season extends beyond Jerez — she and Fothergill sit third in the Iberian Supercars series with Estoril in early December still to come.
