GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • TATIANA CALDERÓN delivered a textbook wet-to-dry performance at Autódromo Panamá, qualifying P3 and converting into a podium finish through superior pace management as conditions evolved throughout the 45-minute heat.
  • The Colombian driver showcased GT3 versatility in the Lamborghini Huracán, methodically climbing from sixth post-pitstop to third overall by exploiting rivals’ pace drops and running consistent 1:02 lap times.
  • CALDERÓN’s weekend marked her GT Challenge de las Américas return after a 2025 class victory at Costa Rica, stepping up to full GT3 specification machinery alongside co-driver Carlos Hernández in the #59 entry.
  • Heat two saw Hernández navigate double red-flag interruptions including a major rollover incident, salvaging fourth in class during the truncated 20-minute sprint finish under Panama’s floodlights.

UPCOMING:

  • Next GT Challenge de las Americas round TBA
