GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • PATRICIJA STALIDZANE overcame brake issues and back-of-grid qualifying to gain nine positions in Race 1 at Mugello, matching co-driver Leonardo Pulcini’s pace within a tenth while demonstrating mature tire management aboard the Oregon Team Lamborghini.
  • The Latvian racer’s Italian GT Sprint debut showcased her rapid adaptation from Nürburgring endurance specialist to competitive GT3 sprint driver, consistently running 1:54s-1:55s during demanding stints against a 30-car field.
  • STALIDZANE’s progression accelerated through 2025-26: NXT Gen Cup frontrunner with seven podiums, breakthrough into NLS GT3 competition, then immediate competitiveness in Italian GT’s Pro class despite limited sprint racing experience.
  • Both Mugello races saw clean, disciplined drives from STALIDZANE, finishing 14th Pro class in each after recovering from qualifying setbacks, with practice pace suggesting untapped potential as her GT3 sprint career develops.
