EMILY COTTY & EMMA FELBERMAYR Face Tough UAE4 Round at Dubai Autodrome

January 31, 2026

• EMILY COTTY delivered a solid P8 finish for R-ace GP despite starting within striking distance of pole position. The driver qualified eighth, just 0.698 seconds off Craigie’s pole time, showing she belonged in the sharp end before getting shuffled back during the race’s chaotic opening stint and safety car period.
• EMMA FELBERMAYR’s day ended prematurely when her PHM Racing car pulled up next to the pit exit on lap four and retired. The timing was particularly frustrating as it came just as the field was settling into rhythm after the dramatic opening sequence that saw multiple cars eliminated or damaged in the first few corners.
• Both women found themselves caught up in a race that resembled more of a demolition derby than a Formula 4 round, with stalled cars at the start, multiple retirements, and safety car interventions. COTTY showed her skill by navigating through the chaos to salvage points, while FELBERMAYR’s retirement adds to what’s been a challenging season for the PHM Racing driver in the competitive UAE4 field.
