Federica Levy

Federica Levy is an Italian racing driver who made her competitive motorsports debut in 2025 as part of an all-female team in the Italian GT Championship, transitioning from track days and Ferrari Challenge experiences into full-blown endurance racing.

EARLY YEARS

Born around 2003 or 2004, Federica Levy grew up in Italy with a passion for high-performance cars that would eventually steer her toward motorsports. At 21 years old, she was described as the rookie of her racing team when she made her competitive debut in 2025[1]. Before strapping into a race car for real, Levy honed her skills through track days and gained valuable seat time in Ferrari Challenge events, building the foundation for what would become a legitimate racing career[2].

OTHER INTERESTS

Beyond the track, Levy is a car enthusiast who shares her automotive adventures on her YouTube channel under the handle @fedy_cars[3]. Her content features a mix of circuit hot laps, track day footage, and street drives in various vehicles—from her beloved Mazda MX-5 ND to Ferraris and even quirky microcars like the Microlino. She’s also appeared on “Il Salotto di Wheels and Heels,” an Italian automotive talk show, where she discussed her passion for driving, track experiences, and her journey into competitive motorsports[4]. The digital presence reveals someone who doesn’t just race—she lives and breathes cars in every facet of her life.

EARLY SUCCESS

Levy’s entry into professional racing came through BlackDrome’s groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with Faems Team—an all-female lineup competing in the 2025 Italian GT Championship Endurance Cup[5]. Alongside teammates Emma Segattini (20) and Jenni Sonzogni (23), she piloted a Porsche 992 GT3 Cup in the GT Cup AM category. As the least experienced of the trio, Levy was tasked with opening qualifying sessions and sharing driving duties across three-hour endurance races[6]. At the season opener on May 2, 2025, at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, the team finished fourth in their class—a solid start for a driver making her race debut[7]. By the second round at Monza in June, the all-female crew delivered something special: their first podium finish in GT Cup AM[8]. In the three-part qualifying session, Levy laid down a 1:54.227 lap time to open the run, setting the stage for Sonzogni to clock a competitive 1:51.490 in the second stint[9]. The result proved that this wasn’t a publicity stunt—these women could drive.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

• 2025: Made competitive racing debut in Italian GT Championship Endurance Cup at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli with Faems Team[10].
• 2025: Earned first podium finish with all-female crew at Monza in GT Cup AM category driving Porsche 992 GT3 Cup[11].
• 2025: Competed in full Italian GT Championship Endurance Cup season with teammates Emma Segattini and Jenni Sonzogni across venues including Misano, Monza, Imola, and Mugello[12].

INSPIRATIONS

While specific influences aren’t documented in available sources, Levy’s participation in an all-female racing initiative suggests she’s motivated by the broader movement to increase women’s presence and visibility in motorsport—a traditionally male-dominated arena where female drivers remain statistically underrepresented[13].

REPUTATION

Levy has established herself as an enthusiastic and capable driver who isn’t afraid to jump into the deep end. Her YouTube presence shows someone genuinely passionate about driving, not just performing for cameras. On track, she’s proven she can handle the pressure of endurance racing formats, managing stint lengths and qualifying sessions as part of a professional team structure. The fact that she transitioned from track days to a full championship season in a Porsche Cup car—no small feat—demonstrates both commitment and natural talent. As the “rookie” of her team, she’s carved out a reputation as someone willing to learn quickly and contribute meaningfully to competitive results[14].

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Information about Levy’s specific plans beyond the 2025 season isn’t available in the research provided. The Italian GT Championship Endurance Cup concluded at Mugello on September 14, 2025[15], but whether she’ll return for another season or pursue opportunities in other series remains undocumented.
