EMILY COTTY, PAYTON WESTCOTT & GINEVRA PANZERI Shine in E4 Championship Opener

July 23, 2025

• EMILY COTTY delivered her strongest performance yet, securing P13 in Race 1—her best finish to date—and claiming multiple Women Trophy victories at the E4 Championship opener. The R-ace GP rookie showed serious pace potential by qualifying 14th, running as high as P3 during the session and staying just one second off pole position. Despite a heavy crash at Mugello just a week prior, she proved she’s not backing down from anyone.
• PAYTON WESTCOTT turned her weekend around in spectacular fashion, fighting back from early struggles to claim her first E4 Women Trophy victory with a breakthrough P16 finish in Race 3. The rookie showed real racecraft, making up six places in Race 2 and demonstrating the kind of aggressive overtaking that gets you noticed. Her consistent improvement throughout the weekend—culminating in that weekend-best drive—proves she’s finding her rhythm in the continental series.
• GINEVRA PANZERI made an impressive E4 debut with AKM Motorsport, steadily building pace and confidence throughout her first weekend back in F4 machinery. Despite starting from P29 in qualifying, she showed genuine progress, gaining seven positions in Race 1 and securing a top-20 finish in the final race. Her honest post-race assessment—acknowledging both the progress made and work still to be done—shows the kind of self-awareness that builds champions.
