STALIDZANE, GATTING, ÅHLIN-KOTTULINSKY Face Late Drama at Nürburgring 24

May 22, 2026

• PATRICIJA STALIDZANE ran second overall in GT3 before power steering failure dropped her to class rear. Co-driver crashed at Hatzenbach with nine hours remaining, terminal damage ending podium hopes.
• MICHELLE GATTING held Cup2 pole, ran third in class inside top-30 overall before gearbox grenaded with three hours left. Team attempted gear-skipping strategy but cascading failures forced retirement from podium position.
• MIKAELA ÅHLIN-KOTTULINSKY dominated TCR class, built two-lap advantage using rally skills in rain. Co-driver’s crash required trackside repairs costing 30 minutes; brake failure on Döttinger Höhe with kilometers remaining denied class podium.
• MIKI KOYAMA recovered from 99th overall and 10th in GT4 to finish fifth in class, 42nd overall. Steady climb through chaos showcased consistency after early setbacks dropped Toyota outside top-100.
• Class podiums secured by TABEA JÜNGER (third, V6), ALESIA and JACQUELINE KREUTZPOINTER (second, BMW Cup), SARAH GANSER (third, BMW 325i) after flawless recovery drives through night rain and mechanical dramas.
