• HAMDA and AMNA AL QUBAISI are making the jump from single-seaters to prototype racing, joining three-time team champions Group Virage for their European Ligier Series debut in 2025. After two seasons in F1 Academy with MP Motorsport, the Emirati sisters are ready to tackle the Ligier JS P4 together – and honestly, it’s about time we see these proven winners in endurance racing where teamwork and racecraft really shine.
• Let’s talk credentials: HAMDA brings four F1 Academy victories and holds the record as the female driver with the most wins in mixed-gender Formula 4 competitions (seven total). Meanwhile, AMNA made history as the first Arab woman on an F1 podium when she won the F4 Trophy at Abu Dhabi in 2019. Both sisters have proven they can wheel-to-wheel race with anyone, so this isn’t some experimental move – it’s a strategic evolution.
• The 2025 European Ligier Series calendar gives them six rounds to make their mark, including the prestige of racing at Le Mans. HAMDA will be experiencing closed-cockpit racing for the first time, while AMNA has some prototype experience from a 2022 German STT round. With Group Virage’s championship pedigree backing them and races at legendary circuits like Spa and Silverstone ahead, we’re watching two accomplished racers write the next chapter of their motorsports story.
