The 2025 NXT Gen Cup roared to life at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben — and Patricija Stalidzane wasted no time making her mark. In the season’s opening race, she delivered a commanding performance that saw her storm to a podium finish, showing razor-sharp racecraft and a calm, calculated drive that earned her P2. It was the perfect start to the year and a continuation of her momentum from last season, where she famously made history with her Sachsenring podium.
The strong pace continued into Sunday, with Patricija qualifying an impressive P3 for Race 3 — a clear signal that another podium was within reach. But motorsport can be ruthless, and just before lights out, technical issues struck. She was forced into a DNS (Did Not Start), a crushing turn of events that pushed her to the very back of the grid for the final race of the weekend.
Where others might have folded, Patricija dug deep. In Race 4, starting from last place, she delivered one of the most thrilling comeback drives. Lap after lap, she carved through the field with relentless determination and clean, clinical overtakes. Her charge was a standout moment of the weekend and her performance spoke volumes: this is a driver who doesn’t back down — no matter the setback.
The Oschersleben weekend showed every side of Patricija Stalidzane: her speed, her grit, and her unshakable mindset. With the 2025 season just underway, she’s already made it clear — she’s not just racing. She’s here to fight.
