Dash Cup Driver


Giséle Marie Vignon, better known as Giséle "Gizzy" Vignon (born December 12, 1988 in Lille, France) is a french Dash Cup driver currently running for Moretti GP. She formerly drove for Hannagan Enterprises, where she posted giant upsets together with her former teammate, Stasya Filipov.

Beginnings[edit | edit source]

Giséle started racing with karts when she was 12 and won several karting competitions. Only when she already 19 she would shift to the Gasnier World Series, a spec formula destinated to form new Formula A drivers, but after gathering a reputation of slow driver, due to being overly defensive, she shifted to touring cars one year after starting her first World Series race. She drove together with Stasya Filipov in Touring Cars until her team, Hannagan Enterprises decided to shift to stock car racing, making scattered starts in the 2014 Dash Cup season.

Dash Cup tenure[edit | edit source]

Her first start was at the Toddring GP and in both races she would finish well inside of the top 10, as in race 1 she finished in 8th and in the second race she avoided wrecks, coming home in 13th.

Her second weekend was at her home race in France, where she ran in the back until the third race of the weekend, where she started in the pole, and was defending her postion against cars much stronger than hers, coming home in 6th place, a stellar performance for a underfunded team.

Giséle was the only Hannagan car to qualify for Spa, and she didn't disappointed her team, finishing in 19th after the mass disqualifying that took part after the race.
