SOPHIA FLÖRSCH Returns to Macau GP Scene Where She Survived 276km/h Crash

February 25, 2026

• SOPHIA FLÖRSCH’s return to Macau carries weight beyond racing results – she’s back at the Guia Circuit where she survived one of motorsport’s most terrifying crashes in 2018, when her car flipped at 276km/h and launched over another driver into the barriers. The fact that she’s racing here again with Van Amersfoort Racing speaks to her resilience and determination.
• The 2024 Macau GP marks a significant format change as the FIA Formula Regional World Cup replaces F3 as the headline single-seater category. This shift brings new challenges for drivers like FLÖRSCH, who must adapt to different regulations while navigating the notoriously demanding 6.2-kilometer street circuit that even seasoned pros call “Monaco on steroids.”
• Van Amersfoort Racing’s return to Macau after a year away puts FLÖRSCH in familiar territory with the Dutch team that previously fielded her in F3. The team’s 50th anniversary season adds extra motivation as they tackle one of motorsport’s most prestigious junior categories on a circuit where careers are made and sometimes nearly lost.
