• SARAH BOVY delivered a masterclass night stint for Iron Dames, running consistent 3:59s and climbing into the top five before disaster struck. Her pace broke into serious podium contention territory—exactly where we knew she belonged—before RAHEL FREY was hit by Clemens Schmid’s reckless move at the chicane, dropping them a lap and ultimately forcing retirement due to shifting issues.
• JAMIE CHADWICK held firm in the LMP2 top five for IDEC Sport during her night stint, keeping the team in genuine podium contention after André Lotterer’s strong run to third overall. Their championship hopes were crushed when Lotterer lost a wheel just after sunrise, ending what had been a textbook 16-hour performance that proved these women can run with anyone when given proper machinery.
• LILOU WADOUX now carries the torch as the sole female driver still hunting a top result, sitting ninth in LMGT3 with her Richard Mille Ferrari after stringing together sub-4-minute laps during an inspired night stint. She systematically hunted down competitors and re-entered the top ten, proving once again that when the lights go out and pure pace matters, talent rises to the surface regardless of gender.
