Texaco Team AMS driver Seda Kaçan reached the championship by breaking the season's track record in the final leg of the 2026 AVIS Turkey Track Championship, organized by the Turkish Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED), earning the title of the first female driver to achieve this success in the history of the Turkey Track Championship.

Texaco Team AMS driver Seda Kaçan became the first female driver to win the championship in the history of the Turkey Track Championship by breaking the season's track record in the final leg of the 2026 AVIS Turkey Track Championship, which concluded on November 8, 2026. Kaçan, who took to the track in 2022 as the first female driver to compete in the championship after a 30-year hiatus, concluded her four-year steady rise at the summit.

In the final leg, followed by thousands of racing fans from the stands at Istanbul Park and contested by 23 athletes, Seda Kaçan raced under the main sponsorship of Pepsi, Doritos, and Bingo. Starting the weekend in pole position by setting the fastest lap time of the season, Kaçan secured the top spot in the general classification as well as the Maxi Group championship. Throughout the season, Kaçan achieved pole position in 5 out of the 6 race weekends she entered, set the fastest lap time 5 times across the 6 legs, and achieved podium finishes in 9 out of a total of 12 races. Finishing the season without receiving any technical or sporting penalties, the driver also drew attention with her comeback despite vehicle damage and dropping to last place during the August 30 Victory Day race. Making statements after the championship, Seda Kaçan expressed her pride in realizing her dream from four years ago.
