SOPHIA FLOERSCH Set for Historic Indy NXT Debut After Impressive Testing Run

February 28, 2025

• SOPHIA FLOERSCH brings serious credentials to her Indy NXT debut – she’s already made F3 history as the first woman to score championship points, secured two LMP2 podiums in ELMS, and helped Richard Mille Racing finish ninth overall at Le Mans 2020. This isn’t a publicity stunt; it’s a proven winner stepping up to the next level.
• Her Sebring testing performance backs up the hype – sixth overall and fifth among full-timers tells us everything we need to know about her adaptation to American open-wheel racing. While some drivers struggle with the transition from European to American circuits, FLOERSCH clearly isn’t one of them.
• What’s refreshing is her honest take on why she chose the American market: “The United States is more open to embracing a female racer.” No diplomatic dancing around the reality that European motorsports still has work to do. She’s found a series that actually wants women competitors, and we’re here for it.
