Chloe Grant celebrates her strongest results of the season at Valencia
Chloe Grant delivered her strongest performance of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Iberica season during Round Three at Valencia, securing a podium finish and multiple class trophies in challenging conditions.
Competing alongside teammate Flame Airikkala in the AF Motorsport Porsche 992 Cup Car, Chloe took over driving duties for Qualifying 2, Race 2 and Race 4. The Scottish racing driver immediately demonstrated impressive pace, qualifying fourth overall against a highly competitive field.
Starting Race 2 from fourth on the grid, Chloe produced an outstanding drive in soaring temperatures to secure second place overall, second in the Silver category and first in the Women's category. The result marked her best finish of the season to date and highlighted her ability to perform under pressure despite cockpit temperatures that made the car feel more like a sauna than a race car.
Chloe's second race of the weekend saw another determined performance. Starting from fourth position once again, she held her own in several intense battles throughout the race and maintained her position to the chequered flag. Despite a small amount of contact during the close racing, the AF Motorsport Porsche emerged unscathed, allowing her to secure fourth overall and third place in the Silver category.
The results capped off a highly successful weekend for the AF Motorsport team, which worked tirelessly throughout the event to maximise performance in exceptionally demanding conditions. Together with teammate Flame Airikkala, the team demonstrated strong pace and consistency throughout the weekend.
Valencia represented another important step forward in Chloe Grant's season as she continues to establish herself as one of the leading female drivers competing in Porsche racing.
After the race, Chloe commented:
"Valencia was one of the toughest weekends physically because of the heat, but it was also one of the most rewarding. To qualify fourth overall and then achieve my best result of the season with second overall, second in Silver and first in the Women's category was a fantastic feeling.
"The whole AF Motorsport team did an incredible job throughout the weekend and gave me a great car to drive. The conditions were extremely challenging, but we managed them really well and came away with some fantastic results.
"I'd also like to thank Laser Tools for their continued support. Their backing is the reason I am able to compete at this level and continue chasing my goals in motorsport."
