SOPHIA FLOERSCH Set for INDYNXT Debut After Ditching Alpine for American Racing

February 24, 2025

• SOPHIA FLOERSCH is trading European politics for American racing purity as she prepares for her INDYNXT debut March 2 at St. Petersburg with HMD Motorsports. The former Alpine academy driver and F3 history-maker believes she’s found what many drivers told her – that once you race in America, you never want to go back to Europe.
• Her Sebring testing results back up the confidence – FLOERSCH posted the fifth-fastest time among full-time drivers in January, proving she’s not just making up the numbers in her American racing transition. That’s exactly the kind of early statement we love to see from someone carrying the weight of being a trailblazer.
• The paddock culture shift seems to be what’s really sold FLOERSCH on the move. She’s talking about finding actual camaraderie instead of the backstabbing politics that apparently dominate European racing – where the focus stays on pure racing rather than whatever drama usually overshadows the actual competition we’re all here to watch.
