In contention for the title during his two seasons of F1 Academy, Maya Weug was unable to seize the trophy. She was beaten by Abbi Pulling and Dorian Pin In 2024, the Dutch woman was once again overtaken by the French woman, followed by Classic Mercedes for sale this season.

Member of the Classic Ferrari for sale Driver Academy, the driver contracted with MP Motorsport this season, had notably made occasional appearances in FRECA since the beginning of last year, but had decidedly not achieved the same results as in the all-female series. Struggling more in the higher category, the Spanish-born driver might well be tempted by...Endurance in the future.

In any case, the person in question will take her first steps aboard a Ferrari 296 GT3 December 8th. Announced by the F1 Academy, this test will be financed by the competition itself, in order to allow one of its leading figures to facilitate their transition for the future. "The F1 Academy is a stepping stone, not an end in itself," explains Susie Wolff, general manager of the series. We continue to create opportunities to allow our most talented drivers to progress. We are delighted to support Maya during this GT test as she explores her next steps for 2026.

A few days ago, American Lia Block also announced, quite logically, that she would be leaving the F1 Academy at the end of her second season alongside Williams. Engaged in rally In the past, Ken Block's daughter has turned to rallying, the very category in which she began her motorsport career. A springboard in terms of visibility, the F1 Academy sees Abbi Pulling, last year's champion, continue in car After a convincing season with GB3, options remain open for Maya Weug and Doriane Pin in particular, while awaiting possible news regarding Chloe Chambers.

Great, the F1 Academy is a springboard for GT and Rally! We'll have to think about changing the name of this championship!
