F1 Academy to return for next year's Miami GP

All-female racing series F1 Academy will return to the support bill for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix. Scheduled for May 2-4, the event will serve as the third round of F1 Academy’s 2025 championship, and the first North American race on the calendar. “As a promoter, we are committed to doing our part in furthering the growth of motorsport, and the return of F1 Academy to the Miami International Autodrome underscores that,” said Tyler Epp, President of the Miami Grand Prix. “Susie Wolff (F1 Academy managing director) and her team have done a phenomenal job leading F1 Academy and stewarding the opportunity to both develop and showcase young women in this sport, which we wholeheartedly celebrate and believe only enhances the experience for fans. Alongside our Sprint format and the Porsche Carrera Cup North America, we’re looking forward to delivering another exciting weekend of top-tier motorsport action in May.” Established in 2023, F1 Academy aims to bridge the barriers to entry for young women in motorsport by offering opportunities for female drivers aged 16 to 25. Drivers receive extensive support in all aspects of competition, from technical training to physical and mental preparation. The Tatuus-built cars used in the series are powered by a four-cylinder, 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with a top speed of 150mph. Alpine Academy driver Abbi Pulling won both races in Miami this year and is comfortably on course for the 2024 championship, holding a 95 point lead over closest rival Doriane Pin with two weekends remaining.
