SOPHIA FLOERSCH Returns to Macau GP Scene That Nearly Ended Her Career

September 10, 2025

• The 2025 FIA FRegional World Cup at Macau GP features a powerful comeback story as SOPHIA FLOERSCH returns with Van Amersfoort Racing to the circuit where she suffered a devastating crash in 2018. Her recovery and return to competition embodies the resilience we love to see from women racers who refuse to let setbacks define their careers.
• Van Amersfoort Racing rejoins the Macau GP grid after producing some impressive results over the years, including Charles Leclerc’s runner-up finish in 2015 and Max Verstappen’s charge from 24th to seventh in 2014. The team’s ability to develop future champions makes FLOERSCH’s partnership with them particularly intriguing for her continued progression.
• While the 2018 crash at Macau could have ended her career, FLOERSCH’s determination saw her back racing by 2019 and achieving 11th place for VAR in their 2023 return. Her presence in this year’s 10-team field proves that women belong on motorsport’s most challenging stages, regardless of past obstacles.
