SSP 300 Women’s European Championship:
Sowa makes the double at Grobnik
A month after the round in the Czech Republic, the SSP 300 Women’s European Championship got back on track for another exciting race weekend. The fourth round of the season took place at Automotodrom Grobnik, Croatia, in a weekend full of action and challenges.
Race 1
In very high temperatures, Patrycja Sowa had a great start from P3 taking the lead, but Natalia Resel Rivera and pole-women Josephine Bruno wasted no time in fighting back. After six laps of fight and overtaking, a technical problem forced Bruno to retire. The Spanish-Polish battle continued, but it was Sowa who won ahead of Rivera. Third position for Arianna Barale at the end of an intense fight with Denise Dal Zotto and Beatrice Barbera.
Race 2
Once more, Sowa made a lightning start moving to the front and taking the lead. Again Bruno and Rivera were quick to fight back. A three-way battle ensued, with Sowa first under the chequered flag ahead of Bruno and championship leader Rivera.
A well-deserved fourth position for Dal Zotto ahead of Barbera after a close-fought duel. Tough day for Barale, just sixth.
