On 17 December 2008, it was announced she would be the first female to drive in the new Formula One feeder series FIA Formula Two Championship.[2] She finished 23rd in the campaign, scoring two points.
- 2008 Spanish Formula 3 - four podiums.

For the 2010 season she teamed up with Cyndie Allemann and raced for the Swiss Matech team in a GT1 class Ford GT in the FIA GT1 World Championship.[3] During qualifying for the first round of the championship in Abu Dhabi, she crashed heavily, breaking her right tibia.[4]
She returned to racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Gachnang and Allemann being joined by fellow Swiss Rahel Frey. This marked the first time since 1991, with Lyn St. James, Desire Wilson and Cathy Muller, that an all-female team competed at Le Mans.[5]
