GRRL! SUMMARY:
- SABRÉ COOK finally found her groove at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, securing her first back-to-back top-10 finishes of the season after a challenging start to her Porsche Carrera Cup North America campaign. The JDX Racing driver maximized opportunities when competitors ahead made mistakes, moving from 12th on the grid to eighth in race one through smart racecraft and consistent pace that had her pulling away from Pro class rivals.
- The breakthrough came after COOK had been showing speed but struggling to convert it into points-paying positions. Her defensive driving against Ashley Freiberg in both races demonstrated the racecraft we’ve been waiting to see, particularly when she held off late-race pressure in Sunday’s contest to secure tenth place, later promoted to ninth after a penalty to Tyler Maxson.
- What made this weekend special wasn’t just the results but how COOK earned them – capitalizing on Michael McCann and Michael De Quesada’s incidents while maintaining clean racing and setting personal best lap times under pressure. Her ability to match Jimmy Llibre’s pace while defending position showed the speed has always been there, she just needed the right weekend to put it all together at a track where she’d previously found success.
