GRRL! SUMMARY:

SOLENN AMROUCHE breaks new ground as the first French driver confirmed in GB4 Championship history, signing with Arden Motorsport for 2026. The 22-year-old arrives with serious credentials from her 2025 Hoosier Formula Cup debut, where she consistently ran near the front and nabbed her first podium at MotorLand Aragón (P3 overall, P2 rookie). Her transition from endurance racing to single-seaters shows exactly the kind of progression we need to see more of – and finishing seventh overall in her rookie formula season is super promising.
Before anyone questions her single-seater readiness, AMROUCHE already built a rock-solid reputation in endurance racing that puts most drivers to shame. Her 2023 Spanish GT Championship vice-championship included eight podiums, four class wins, and one outright victory. She followed that up by conquering the 24 Hours of Barcelona in the GTX class, plus securing second place at Portimão in the 992 AM category. Racing alongside her father Lionel at Vortex, she’s proven she can handle pressure and deliver results when it counts.
Arden Motorsport clearly knows what they’re doing after AVA DOBSON claimed the Female Drivers prize in 2025, and now they’re doubling down on supporting women’s progression with AMROUCHE targeting that same title plus the €50,000 career advancement prize toward F1 Academy. Team Principal Garry Horner gets it, acknowledging her endurance background makes her “a more complete competitor” rather than treating her formula experience like a liability. With Arden’s proven track record and AMROUCHE’s demonstrated ability to adapt and improve throughout a season, this partnership positions her perfectly to challenge for that top female spot.
