GRRL! SUMMARY:

JULIA ANGELARD has earned her spot in the prestigious ORLEN Motorsport Academy for 2026 after a stellar season that included pole position and second place at Champions of the Future Academy in Jesolo, plus second in qualifying at the Polish Karting Championship. The 13-year-old Polish driver has consistently proven herself as one of the fastest female competitors in international karting, showcasing the racecraft and determination that caught academy scouts’ attention.
Her impressive campaign spanned multiple top-tier championships including the FIA Karting World Cup, WSK Super Master Series, and ROK Cup Italy, where she’s become known for dramatic comebacks through the field. Racing since age four, ANGELARD made her international debut in 2023 with an eye-catching 17-place climb in one race, setting the stage for her current success under Minardi Management’s guidance.
With mentorship from Maya Weug and the backing of former F1 manager Giovanni Minardi’s development program, ANGELARD is targeting a future F1 Academy seat. The ORLEN Academy partnership with the Polish Federation represents a major step toward that goal, giving her the resources and platform to compete at the highest levels while representing Poland’s next generation of racing talent.
