Lucile Cypriano stands out as a pioneering French racing driver who has broken barriers across multiple disciplines, from single-seaters to GT racing, and made history as the first woman to secure overall victories in the SEAT León Eurocup.

EARLY YEARS

Born on September 2, 1996, in Châtenay-Malabry, Hauts-de-Seine, France, Lucile began her racing journey in karting at the age of seven. Her natural talent was evident early on, leading to recognition from the CIK-FIA and Women & Motorsport Commission, who awarded her a funded drive when she was just fifteen years old.

EARLY SUCCESS

In 2013, Cypriano made her transition to single-seater racing in the French F4 Championship, achieving eighth place finishes and demonstrating promising skills against predominantly male competitors. The following year marked her shift to saloon car racing in the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup, supported by the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission. Her versatility became apparent as she adapted quickly to different racing formats, but her breakout moment came in 2015 when she joined JSB Compétition for the SEAT León Eurocup, where she made history by becoming the first female driver to win in the overall standings.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

REPUTATION

Lucile has established herself as a versatile and determined competitor who excels across multiple racing disciplines. Her ability to transition smoothly between single-seaters, touring cars, GT racing, and even rally showcases exceptional adaptability. Beyond her technical skills, Cypriano is recognized as a trailblazer who has consistently broken barriers for women in motorsport, particularly through her historic victories in the male-dominated SEAT León Eurocup and her participation in prestigious events like the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Her partnership with Gabriela Jílková in an all-female team further demonstrates her commitment to increasing women’s visibility and participation in professional racing.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, Cypriano aims to build on her GT racing experience, particularly in the FFSA French GT4 Championship. Her partnership with Akkodis ASP and Matmut as part of their women in motorsport initiative provides a platform to continue competing at high levels while promoting female representation. With her diverse racing background spanning circuit racing, rally, and endurance events, Lucile is positioned to pursue sustained success in GT championships and further elevate women’s visibility in top-tier motorsport competition.
