Nina Gademan is an emerging Dutch talent in motorsports who has rapidly climbed from karting success to Formula racing, making history as the first wild card driver to score points in both F1 Academy races at Zandvoort in 2024.

EARLY YEARS

Born on September 30, 2003, in Wijster, Netherlands, Nina started her racing journey in karting. While details about her early family life are limited, she has acknowledged her mother as “my rock and my everything,” suggesting a supportive home environment that nurtured her racing ambitions.

EARLY SUCCESS

Gademan’s competitive career began with impressive performances in karting, culminating in winning the prestigious FIA Karting Slalom Gold in 2019. She then progressed to compete in the PTC Cup and gained valuable experience in endurance racing at the 24 Hours of Zolder. In 2024, she made her single-seater debut in the British Formula 4 Championship with Fortec Motorsport, quickly adapting to the demands of formula racing by scoring points at Donington Park and achieving a rookie podium at Thruxton.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2019: Won gold in the FIA Motorsport Games Karting Slalom Cup[3].
2024: Made F1 Academy history as the first wild card driver to score points in both races at Zandvoort, finishing 4th in Race 1 and 10th in Race 2[1][3].
2024: Competed in British F4 Championship with Fortec Motorsports, scoring 25 points and finishing 19th in the standings[3][5].

REPUTATION

In a short time, Nina has established herself as a determined and skilled competitor who consistently demonstrates improvement. Her impressive wild card performance in the F1 Academy at Zandvoort particularly caught the attention of racing teams and fans alike, showcasing her ability to compete at a high level against more experienced drivers. Her selection by Alpine for the 2025 F1 Academy season reflects the growing recognition of her potential in the motorsport community, and positions her as one of the promising female talents in a traditionally male-dominated sport.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

For 2025, Nina will join the F1 Academy full-time with the backing of BWT Alpine Formula One Team, marking a significant step forward in her racing career. She’ll prepare for the season by competing in the Formula Winter Series with Hitech GP from January 30 to March 9, racing at prestigious circuits including Portimão, Valencia, Aragon, and Barcelona. While her specific long-term goals aren’t explicitly stated, her partnership with Alpine provides a potential pathway toward higher tiers of motorsport competition.
