GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • EMILY COTTY is back with R-ace GP for 2026, proving that when you deliver results like hers, teams want to keep you around. After sweeping the Women’s titles in both Italian and European F4 during her rookie season, she’s earned herself a double campaign that starts with UAE F4 in January before returning to Italian F4 in May.
  • Let’s talk about that rookie year – COTTY didn’t just show up, she dominated. Rookie podiums in the Middle East, Women’s titles in two major championships, and an FIA F4 World Cup selection that came directly from her impressive Italian performances. That’s the kind of season that announces you’ve arrived.
  • The 2026 schedule is serious business: four rounds across UAE and Qatar (12 races total) followed by seven Italian rounds (21 races) that include iconic tracks like Monza, Mugello, and Imola. We’re looking at 33 races where COTTY can build on what was already a breakthrough year – and honestly, with this kind of momentum, we’re expecting fireworks.

UPCOMING:

  • UAE4 Series: 16-18 January, Abu Dhabi
  • UAE4 Series: 23-25 January, Abu Dhabi
  • Italian F4: 8-10 May, Misano
