Floersch made history last year by becoming the first woman to score points in Formula three’s modern era, during a dramatic race at Spa-Francorchamps. But after two years of F3 the 24-year-old will now be moving stateside to compete in the second tier of American open-wheel racing, as will Former F2 driver Dennis Hauger who will be driving for Andretti.
Floersch wont be the only woman racing in Indy NXT next year, as HND motors also signed Nascar driver Hailie Deegan to drive for them next year. Both of them will be aiming to replicate the success that Jamie Chadwick had this past season, as she became the first woman to win an Indy NXT race on a road or street course, and was the third female to win a race at that level, joining Pippa Mann and Ana Beatriz, who both won on ovals.
