European Late Model Challenge
Allain's debut in the ELMC came at the Warneton 120, held at the Warneton Speedway in Belgium. Allain qualified in the top 10 for each of the first two races, and ran well enough to notch top-five finishes in each as well. The second race saw Allain collect her first podium with a third-place run.

Success continued to come in for Allain, as she scored two more top-five runs in the first of back-to-back weekends at Rockingham Speedway. In the second of those weekends she scored a pair of second-place runs, moving her to third in the overall points standings after nine events.

Her skill has been noticed by teams in higher series, as FIAM Engineering has put her on its short list of potential candidates for one of its Dash Cup entries, and signed her to a contract after the round at Zandvoort.
