Fabienne Wohlwend is a pioneering racer from Liechtenstein who made history as the first woman to win a Ferrari World Final outright and has competed successfully across multiple racing series including the W Series and Ferrari Challenge.

EARLY YEARS

Born in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, Fabienne’s racing journey began at an amusement park in Ticino, Switzerland, just before her seventh birthday. Her father Edwin, a Ferrari enthusiast, gifted her first kart on her seventh birthday after she begged to try racing while watching her older brother Raphael. While pursuing her racing dreams, she followed her mother Rita’s advice to have a Plan B, completing high school and an apprenticeship as a bank clerk while competing in karting events across Europe.

EARLY SUCCESS

Wohlwend’s formal racing career began with karting championships, where she quickly established herself as a formidable competitor. In 2016, she advanced to the Italian F4 Championship, marking her transition to car racing. Her breakthrough came in 2017 when she joined the Audi Sport TT Cup and the Ferrari Challenge European Championship, where she made history as the first woman to win a race outright for Ferrari at Imola. This early success in the Ferrari Challenge, particularly in the Trofeo Pirelli Am division, cemented her position as a rising star in motorsports.
