AMNA AL QUBAISI Breaks Barriers in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Pro Class

March 9, 2026

• AMNA AL QUBAISI is making history as the first woman to compete in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Pro class, facing off against 30 drivers from across Asia in identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars. The 25-year-old Emirati has been breaking barriers since age 18, when she became the first Emirati woman in international single-seater racing, followed by becoming the first Arab woman to win a Formula 4 race in 2019 at Yas Marina Circuit.
• The championship presents a new challenge for AL QUBAISI with its pure driving philosophy—no traction control or driver aids, just raw skill and precision. She’s approaching the season with realistic expectations, focusing on learning the demanding circuits including Shanghai, Zhuhai, Fuji Speedway, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Street Circuit. Her preparation involves extensive simulator work and studying onboard videos to master tracks that are mostly new territory for her.
• AL QUBAISI’s goals extend beyond personal achievement to inspiring the next generation of female racers in the UAE and globally. While she wants to be seen simply as a competitor rather than a novelty, she acknowledges the significance of her milestone and takes pride in representing the UAE internationally. Success for her this season means consistent progress and building a strong foundation, proving that women belong in motorsport’s most competitive environments.
