FULL BIO: Linda Frey
Linda Frey is a teenage racing driver from Liechtenstein who made the bold leap from sim racing to real-world motorsport, becoming the first competitor from her tiny principality to race in the electric NXT Gen Cup series.
EARLY YEARS
Born around 2007 or 2008 in Liechtenstein, Linda grew up in one of Europe’s smallest countries—a principality that might be better known for its banks than its racers. At 17 years old in 2025, she’s already carving out a name for herself in motorsport, though details about her family background and early childhood remain largely private. What we do know is that her journey into racing didn’t follow the traditional go-kart path that most drivers take. Instead, she found her calling through sim racing, discovering a sim racing center in Switzerland that would become her gateway into the motorsport world.
OTHER INTERESTS
No information is currently available about Linda’s interests outside of motorsport.
EARLY SUCCESS
Linda’s racing story began in the virtual world, where she competed in the Porsche eSports Carrera Cup Suisse junior category with impressive results. Her strong performances in Switzerland’s official sim racing championship caught the attention of the Pergolini academy AG in Liechtenstein, which brought her into their driver development program to refine her skills. The transition from pixels to pavement came in April 2024 when she made her real-world racing debut in the Renault Twingo Cup at Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary—a moment that marked her official entry into professional motorsport at just 16 years old.

- 2023-2024: Strong results in Porsche eSports Carrera Cup Suisse junior category.
- 2024: Real-world racing debut in Renault Twingo Cup at Balaton Park Circuit, Hungary (April).

REPUTATION
Fredrik Lestrup, founder of the NXT Gen Cup, has publicly praised Linda’s “talent and determination” in making the transition from sim racing to real-world competition. Her reputation is built on steady improvement and perseverance—qualities that served her well when she experienced an incident during qualifying at Sachsenring but quickly recovered and continued racing. As part of the growing presence of female drivers in the series, she’s earning recognition not just for her national first but for her racecraft development throughout the 2025 season. While she hasn’t yet scored podiums or wins, her consistent progress and professional approach have earned respect from series officials.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Linda is currently focused on her ongoing 2025 NXT Gen Cup campaign, where she continues to develop her skills in electric racing technology. She has expressed pride in being part of what she calls “this fully electric and sustainable junior series,” viewing it as an opportunity to take the next step in her motorsport career. Her involvement with the Pergolini academy AG’s development program suggests a long-term commitment to advancing through the racing ranks, though specific future series or goals beyond 2025 have not been publicly announced.
