Sophia Flörsch (sometimes spelt Floersch, born 1 December 2000) is a racing driver from Germany.

Personal life

Flörsch is the daughter of Alexander Flörsch. She attends Grammar School Oberhaching. Her interests include karting, skiing and wind surfing.[1]

Racing career

Flörsch began karting in 2005, aged 5. From 2008 to 2014, Flörsch competed in various karting events across Europe through Kart Sport. She became the first female driver and also youngest driver of three series she competed in, the 2008 SAKC Championship, 2009 ADAC German Championship and 2010 European Championship Easykart.[2] She has also been scouted by Red Bull.[3]

Ginetta Junior

In 2015, Flörsch took part in the 2015 Ginetta Junior Championship season driving for HHC Motorsport. During the season, Flörsch collected two wins and a further two podiums. She made double Ginetta history at Thruxton by becoming the youngest driver to win a Ginetta Junior race, and also the first rookie to win two out of two races in one weekend.[4] Her season was cut short due to financial issues and she finished at the mid-season point, at that time running in third in the championship, also leading the Rookie championship. Her car for the season was Car 14, which she named Paul.

Formula 4

In 2015, Flörsch signed with Motopark to drive in the 2016 ADAC Formula 4 championship.[5]
