GRRL! SUMMARY:

SOLENN AMROUCHE shattered expectations at Motorland Aragón, becoming the first woman ever to stand on a Hoosier Formula Cup podium with her P3 finish in Race 1—a moment that rewrote the series’ history books. After qualifying sixth, she drove a clean, mistake-free race while chaos unfolded around her, proving that when the pressure’s on, she delivers. This wasn’t just a podium; it was a statement that women belong at the sharp end of single-seater racing, and we’re here for every second of it.
The French driver’s comeback story in Race 2 was pure grit wrapped in determination. Starting dead last after a qualifying crash, AMROUCHE gained five positions in the opening corners before spinning at turn 12—but instead of folding, she carved through the field like she had something to prove. Two spins, multiple overtakes, and a last-lap pass on teammate Alain Bucher delivered a P6 finish that showcased exactly why consistency beats flash every time. That’s championship-caliber mental strength right there.
With two rounds remaining at Magny-Cours, AMROUCHE heads into familiar territory armed with newfound confidence and a taste for podium champagne. Her rookie single-seater season has been a masterclass in building momentum—from P5 at Paul Ricard to consistent top-10s at Mugello, then P4 at Portimão before this breakthrough weekend. She knows Magny-Cours from her GT touring days, and if this Aragón performance taught us anything, it’s that SOLENN AMROUCHE is just getting started making history.
