FULL BIO: Siri Hökfelt
At just 19, Swedish racer Siri Hökfelt has already made history as the first female winner in the NXT Gen Cup series, breaking barriers in electric touring car racing with a combination of fearless driving and methodical improvement that’s caught the attention of the motorsports world.
EARLY YEARS
Born April 17, 2006, in Ängelholm, Sweden, Siri discovered her calling early in the karting world of southern Sweden. Starting her racing career at 14 in 2020, she quickly made her mark by securing second place in the Sydsvenskan Kart Champion Cup in 2019, setting the stage for what would become a rapid ascent through single-seater categories including the Renault Junior Cup Sweden and Aquila Formula 1000.
OTHER INTERESTS
While her focus remains laser-sharp on racing, details about Siri’s life outside the cockpit remain largely private, with her public presence centered entirely around her motorsports career and development as a driver.
EARLY SUCCESS
Siri’s transition from karting to professional racing proved seamless when she joined the inaugural NXT Gen Cup season in 2023, finishing 15th overall in her debut year. Her sophomore season in 2024 showed the kind of consistency that separates contenders from also-rans, climbing to 9th overall with multiple top-10 finishes that established her as one of the series’ most reliable performers despite being one of its youngest competitors.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2019: Second place finish in Sydsvenskan Kart Champion Cup
- 2023: NXT Gen Cup debut season, 15th overall
- 2024: 9th overall in NXT Gen Cup with consistent top-10 finishes
- 2025: Historic first female race winner in NXT Gen Cup at Sachsenring
INSPIRATIONS
Siri has kept her influences and inspirations largely to herself, focusing her public statements on the technical aspects of racing development rather than discussing role models or motivational figures who shaped her path to professional motorsports.
REPUTATION
Despite her age, Siri has earned recognition as both one of the youngest and most consistent competitors in the NXT Gen Cup, with media coverage consistently highlighting her steady improvement and professional approach. Her historic win has positioned her as a promising talent and inadvertent role model for female racers, advancing women in motorsport through performance rather than advocacy. She’s developed a reputation for treating each race as a learning opportunity, with a work ethic that includes intensive physical and mental training alongside extensive simulator work.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Entering her third consecutive NXT Gen Cup season in 2025, Siri has set her sights on continued learning while actively pursuing podium finishes. Her approach remains characteristically methodical, as she puts it: “My goal for 2025 is, of course, to learn as much as possible while also aiming for podium finishes.” With her historic first win already in the books, she’s proven that her measured confidence isn’t just talk—it’s a roadmap to success in electric touring car racing.
