FULL BIO: Laura Camps Torras
Laura Camps Torras is a promising Spanish motorsport racer who made history by becoming the second female driver to join the prestigious Ferrari Driver Academy after winning the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars program.
EARLY YEARS
Born on March 28, 2005, Laura’s journey into racing began around age eight when her father, a huge motorsport enthusiast inspired by Michael Schumacher, introduced her to rental karting. What started as a family hobby gradually evolved into a competitive pursuit as her father recognized her natural talent and encouraged her development in the sport.
EARLY SUCCESS
Laura’s racing career took off in karting, where she claimed victory in the 2020 Valencian Karting Championship and competed in the Spanish Karting Championship with Faluga Racing in the KZ class. Her breakthrough came in 2021 when she triumphed in the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars program, earning her coveted placement in the Ferrari Driver Academy alongside Maya Weug, where she underwent extensive training and testing in Formula 4 machinery with Iron Lynx.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2020: Won the Valencian Karting Championship.
- 2021: Won the second edition of the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars program, securing a spot in the Ferrari Driver Academy.
- 2023: Made her single-seater racing debut in the Indian Racing League with Hyderabad Blackbirds, finishing fifth in her first race at the Madras International Circuit in Chennai.
REPUTATION
At just 18 years old, Laura has established herself as a resilient and determined competitor who thrives under pressure, evidenced by her impressive top-5 finish in challenging wet conditions during her single-seater debut. Her advocacy for women in motorsport and ability to perform in high-stakes environments have positioned her as an inspiring role model for young female drivers looking to break into the traditionally male-dominated racing world.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Looking ahead to 2025, Laura aims to secure stable opportunities in motorsport after departing from the Ferrari Driver Academy due to financial constraints. Rather than returning to karting, she is focused on building a sustainable career in car racing, potentially exploring options in GT or electric racing series while continuing to develop her skills and professional reputation.
