GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • AMNA AL QUBAISI is making history as the first woman to compete in the Pro class of Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, joining Team Jebsen for her Shanghai debut with backing from Wardah Beauty. The 25-year-old Emirati driver’s move into the highly competitive 30-car grid represents another barrier broken in Asian motorsport.
  • Her path here has been methodical and impressive—from winning that breakthrough F4 Trophy race at Yas Marina in 2019 (first Arab woman on an F1 support-race podium) to scoring consistently in F1 Academy and most recently claiming three podiums alongside sister HAMDA AL QUBAISI in the Ligier European Series rookie campaign.
  • The Porsche Talent Pool Asia selection in November 2025 validated what we’ve been watching develop—AL QUBAISI’s transition from single-seaters to endurance racing has been seamless, and now she’s ready to take on Asia’s premier circuits including Fuji, Sepang, and Marina Bay. With motorsport pedigree through father Khaled’s Le Mans experience, she’s positioned to make serious noise in GT3 Cup machinery.

UPCOMING:

  • Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Round 2 – Zhuhai International Circuit
