AMNA AL QUBAISI Breaks New Ground as First Arab in Porsche Talent Pool Asia

November 5, 2025

• AMNA AL QUBAISI has shattered another barrier, becoming the first female Arab and first Arab ever selected for Porsche Talent Pool Asia. The 25-year-old from Abu Dhabi will debut in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, marking her transition from open-wheel racing to GT competition. This milestone comes after a stellar rookie season in the Ligier European Series, where she and sister HAMDA AL QUBAISI claimed three podiums and finished fourth overall – proving that talent runs deep in this racing family.
• Her path to this achievement started with making waves in F1 Academy across two seasons with MP Motorsport, where she scored multiple points in 2024 and delivered two wins plus four podiums in the inaugural 2023 season. But we shouldn’t forget her groundbreaking 2019 F4 Trophy victory at Abu Dhabi during the F1 weekend – the moment she became the first Arab woman on an F1 podium and first to win a single-seater race, setting the stage for everything that followed.
• What makes this story even better? AL QUBAISI is following her father Khaled’s racing legacy while carving her own path. She grew up watching him compete in Porsche Supercup and at Le Mans, and now she’s stepping into that same world but making it her own. The Porsche backing gives her the platform to prove that when talent meets opportunity, barriers don’t stand a chance – and we’re here for every lap of this journey.
