AVA DOBSON Takes Miami Wild Card Spot in F1 Academy After GB4 Success

April 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • Wisconsin’s AVA DOBSON, 16, scores the coveted Miami GP Wild Card spot with Hitech GP and Morgan Stanley backing, becoming the third Wild Card driver this season after impressive showings in GB4 Championship where she’s leading the female contingent and fighting for that €50,000 scholarship prize.
  • This debut comes after DOBSON proved her resilience by bouncing back from a serious 2024 crash at Barber Motorsports Park that derailed her season, then crossing the Atlantic to make her mark in European racing with strong GB4 performances including a ninth-place series debut at Silverstone.
  • She joins an increasingly competitive American presence in F1 Academy as the fourth US driver on the grid, following the path blazed by Courtney Crone who parlayed her own Miami Wild Card into a full-time 2025 seat – exactly the trajectory DOBSON will be gunning for at Miami International Autodrome.
