SOLENN AMROUCHE Powers Back From Last to P6 in Mugello Hoosier Formula Cup

May 1, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

SOLENN AMROUCHE showcased pure determination at Mugello, turning a weekend of mechanical chaos and contact into a masterclass in comeback driving. Despite starting from the back after early incidents in two races and suffering a clutch failure in the third, she carved through the field with consistently fast 1:49-1:50 lap times to secure finishes of P7, P6, and P8—proving that raw pace and mental strength matter more than luck.
The rookie’s transition from GT endurance racing with her father to single-seaters continues to impress, with AMROUCHE being the fastest driver on her Lamo Racing team and having to develop her own setup data from scratch. Her qualifying performances of P6 and P5 at the notoriously difficult Mugello circuit—on her first visit there—demonstrated she belongs in the fight, even without simulator preparation or reference data.
AMROUCHE’s weekend highlights included a stunning Race 2 recovery where she went from last place after avoiding a start-line collision to P6 by race end, and a photo-finish final race where she gained over two seconds in the final sector alone to overtake two drivers at the line. Her ability to find pace under pressure while learning one of motorsport’s most demanding circuits shows exactly why we should be watching her progression closely.
