GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • THERESE LAHLOUH is climbing the Porsche pyramid the right way, graduating from Sprint Challenge to GT World Challenge America with Wright Motorsports in 2026. As a member of Porsche’s Female Driver Program, she’s getting the full development treatment – and her progression from regional West Coast racing in 2023 to national GT3 competition shows the program actually works when it’s done right.
  • What we love about LAHLOUH’s approach is her focus on meaningful contribution rather than just participation. She specifically chose GTWC America because Bronze drivers have real impact on results – none of this “just happy to be here” nonsense. She wants her skills to matter for the team’s success, which is exactly the mentality that separates serious competitors from tourism.
  • The full-circle moment hits different when you learn that Wright’s GT3 R was the first she ever saw up close, getting a tour from their car chief just two years ago. Now she’ll be piloting that same machinery at tracks like Sebring under the lights – proof that when young drivers get proper support and development, dreams that seemed “outer-space” suddenly become reality.

UPCOMING:

  • GT World Challenge America Season Opener – Sonoma Raceway (March 2026)
  • Sebring Night Race – GT World Challenge America
