Solenn Amrouche is a rising French motorsport racer who has quickly established herself in GT racing, securing a vice-champion title in the Spanish GT Championship and claiming victory in the prestigious 24 Hours of Barcelona.
EARLY YEARS
Growing up in France, Solenn was immersed in racing culture from a young age through her father, Lionel Amrouche, a racing driver himself. Though she initially didn’t understand the appeal of motorsports, her perspective changed dramatically after meeting Swiss racer Karen Gaillard, who introduced her to karting and ignited her passion for racing[1]. After starting in karts in Nantes, Solenn transitioned to cars with a Mitjet provided by her father, developing her skills through competitions in the Fun Cup and appearances at notable events like the 8-hour race supporting the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
EARLY SUCCESS
Amrouche’s formal racing career began to take shape as she gained experience in the Porsche Cup with ROSCAR and attended the Driving Academy in Spain, driving an Aston Martin with Team Virage[1]. Her full-time debut came in 2023, competing in the Spanish GT Championship GT-CER with the distinctive Vortex V8 machine. Racing alongside her father, Solenn demonstrated remarkable skill, securing eight podiums, four class wins, and an outright victory in the GPX category, ultimately finishing as vice-champion in her rookie season[1].
