Lola Lovinfosse (pronounced as /fr/; born 17 October 2005) is a French racing driver who is currently competing in F1 Academy for Rodin Motorsport.

Career

Karting

Lovinfosse began her karting career in 2018, competing in the X30 Junior class of the IAME Winter Cup. In 2019 she competed in the OK Junior category and competed in the World and European Championships, the WSK Euro Series and the WSK Champions Cup, among others. Her best result that year was eighth place in the Trofeo Andrea Margutti. In 2020 she rode in the OK class in the World and European Championships, the WSK Super Master Series and the WSK Champions Cup.

Formula 4

In 2021 Lovinfosse moved to formula racing, where she competed for the Drivex School team in the F4 Spanish Championship.[1] She had a difficult season, in which a thirteenth place at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve was her best result. She finished in 23rd place in the rookie standings with one point. She also qualified for the Female Trophy, along with Emely de Heus. In this class, she won 13 of the 21 races, but due to a number of retirements she still finished behind de Heus.[2]

From 31 January to 4 February 2022, Lovinfosse competed in a W Series test in Arizona, United States along with 14 other prospective drivers.[3] Also in 2022, Lovinfosse remained in Spanish F4. She was originally supposed to drive for GRS Racing, but shortly before the start of the season she switched to Teo Martín Motorsport.[4] [5] She was again unable to score: two nineteenth places at the Circuito Permanente de Jerez and the Circuit Ricardo Tormo Valencia were her best results. She left the class after four of the seven weekends. She again scored no points and finished in 37th place in the standings. She won the Female Trophy, even though the races at Spa were the only ones that counted towards points, as the addition of Aurelia Nobels meant it was the only weekend with multiple female drivers.[6]

F1 Academy

Lovinfosse switched to F1 Academy in 2023, a new series for women organized by Formula One, where she drove for Campos Racing.[7] [8] In 2024, she moved to Rodin Motorsport and is supported by Charlotte Tilbury.[9]

GT racing

Lovinfosse joined Schumacher CLRT for the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe season.[10] She missed the second round due to a fractured wrist from the F1 Academy race in Miami.[11] In July, Lamborghini Squadra Corse announced Lovinfosse was one of 28 drivers selected for the 2024 Super Trofeo Junior Driver Program.[12] In the fourth round of the championship she switched from the Pro class to the Pro-Am class, earning her first podium in the series with a third place finish.[13]
