LISA BILLARD Sweeps Female Trophy at Le Mans as Six Women End F4 Season Strong

September 30, 2025

• LISA BILLARD dominated the Female Trophy at Le Mans, sweeping all three wins to seal the 2025 title with a ninth-place finish that matched her season-best. The Iron Dame driver proved she belongs in the points conversation all year, becoming the first of six women to score championship points at Spa and earning herself a spot at the recent F1 Academy rookie test – concrete proof that her full-time F4 campaign delivered real results.
• JADE JACQUET delivered when it mattered most, claiming her personal best eleventh-place finish at Le Mans to lock down second in the female standings. While ANNABELLE BRIAN’s attacking starts continued to impress (gaining 11 positions in Race 1 alone), her season-long run of bad luck struck again with contact ending her finale early – yet another reminder that racecraft alone isn’t enough when fortune doesn’t favor you.
• The rookie contingent showed exactly why investing in emerging talent pays dividends. ANGELINA PROENCA collected six top-20s including a solid 17th at Le Mans, SOFIA ZANFARI demonstrated clean racecraft with three top-20 finishes despite a late penalty, and HÉLOÏSE GOLDBERG made the most dramatic progress of anyone, finally finding her pace and earning a Female Trophy podium to cap her development arc.
• What we witnessed at Le Mans wasn’t just one weekend of racing – it was six women laying groundwork for what comes next. Each driver showed measurable improvement from their starting points, proving that when you give talented women consistent seat time and proper support, they deliver results that speak for themselves. The question isn’t whether they belong here; it’s how fast the rest of motorsport will catch up to what French F4 already figured out.
