• PATRICIJA STALIDZANE made motorsports history in 2024 by becoming the first woman to reach the podium in the all-electric NXT Gen Cup series, claiming second place at Sachsenring during what was supposed to be just a learning year for the 22-year-old Latvian.
• The rookie campaign delivered way more than anyone expected – twelve top-ten finishes including five top-fives, proving that when the cars are truly equal, talent rises to the surface regardless of who’s behind the wheel, and STALIDZANE clearly has plenty of it.
• Now she’s back for 2025 with her sights set higher, openly targeting that first victory after spending a season mastering the unique challenges of electric, front-wheel-drive racing with push-to-pass strategy and no ABS to lean on when things get intense.
