Despite facing adversity, Chloe showcased her impressive skills by securing a top-10 placing in the first race at Paul Ricard on the 29th and 30th of July.
The Perth teenager displayed incredible resilience and determination as she stepped back on the track after the scary accident at Monza, where her car flew through the air and landed upside down, engulfed in flames.
At Paul ricard, in her first-ever visit to the 2.4-mile track near Marseille, driving her ART Grand Prix machine, Chloe came agonizingly close to securing pole-position, missing it by just 0.365 seconds. Throughout Race 1, she engaged in a thrilling battle for eighth place, ultimately finishing 10th at the chequered flag.
