Last weekend marked an important milestone in Patricija’s career as she made her race debut in a GT3 car at the second round of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS). At the 58th ADAC Barbarossapreis, PKS joined Konrad Motorsport in the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2, sharing the car with Lamborghini factory drivers Maximilian Paul and Christian Engelhart.
The race on the Nürburgring Nordschleife presented a new challenge for the Latvian-German driver, who had previously competed mainly in GT4 machinery as part of the WS Racing “Girls Only” project in the NLS. Moving into the top SP9 class meant competing against some of the most experienced GT3 teams and drivers on the grid.
Over the four-hour race on the legendary 25km Nürburgring combination of Grand Prix circuit and Nordschleife, the Konrad Motorsport trio delivered a clean and consistent performance. At the end of the race, the #7 Lamborghini crossed the finish line in eighth overall, finishing as the best-ranked Lamborghini, marking a very strong result and a promising start for Stalidzane’s first outing in GT3 machinery.
After the race due to the disqualification of Max Verstappen’s Mercedes the team of Konrad Motorsport was further promoted to an Overall 7th Position.
For Stalidzane, the weekend represented an important step forward and valuable experience in the highest category of the Nürburgring endurance series, providing a strong foundation for future races on the Nordschleife.
