#99 - Gabriela JILKOVA and Cindy GUDET (Pro-AM), competitive and determined!

With the “Volant Matmut 100% Féminin” program, the Matmut Group is fully committed to improving women's representation in motorsport. The #99 entry will feature once again an all-female lineup, with Gabriela Jilkova and Cindy Gudet ready to take on the competition!

This duo, racing together for the first time last season, quickly demonstrated their performance level and fighting spirit among an ultra-competitive field. During the 2024 season, Gabriela Jilkova and Cindy Gudet learned to race together developing an impressive synergy.

Complementary in their driving styles, the two women proved throughout the season that they fully deserved their place in this championship.

Despite facing numerous challenges, ‘Quick Gaby’ and Cindy secured 6th place in the Pro-AM category after kicking off the season with a podium finish. Their resilience was particularly tested at Hockenheim, where Cindy was a victim of a high-speed crash involving another out-of-control car, resulting in a broken arm. However, recovering quickly, the French driver made a remarkable comeback and did not miss a single race for the rest of the season.

#87 - Hadrien DAVID and Jan DURAN (Silver Cup): speed meets youth!

This season, Matmut Évolution’s Silver Cup lineup will be 100% new. Behind the wheel of the Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo2, two young talents with impressive track records will take on the best European drivers in the category. With their pace and determination, Hadrien David and Jan Duran are set to make a strong impact in their debut season.

Only 21 years old, Hadrien David already owns 12 years of top-level competition. Spotted after a promising start in karting, Hadrien joined the FFSA’s ‘10-15 Program’, overseen by the Auto Sport Academy. Over two seasons and 30 races, he secured an impressive 28 podium finishes. In 2019, at only 15 years old, he moved up to the French Formula 4 Championship, where he became the youngest-ever F4 champion before joining the Renault Sport Academy. Over the following seasons, he competed in the Formula Regional European Championship (2nd in 2021, 4th in 2022) and took part in various Formula 4 events in Asia.

In 2024, Hadrien made his endurance racing debut in the Michelin Le Mans Cup (LMP3 category), finishing runner-up after securing one victory, five pole positions, and three podiums. The 2025 season will mark a new chapter in his career as he steps into the world of GT racing for the first time.

Hadrien’s teammate, is only 17 years old but is not a rookie in GT4. Indeed, Jan Duran already owns an impressive record in the category. The young Spaniard is the reigning champion in both the Iberian Supercars Championship (overall and GT4 Pro category) and the Campeonato de Portugal de Velocidade (overall and GT4 Pro category), securing two highly coveted titles in the same season.

Moreover, he clinched both championships driving a Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo, making him perfectly suited for the GT4 European Series challenge.

With two young, fast, and highly skilled drivers, the pairing of Hadrien David and Jan Duran could allow Matmut Évolution to enter quickly the game.
