Italian racing team Iron Lynx will propel a young racer on her first step towards single-seater glory this weekend, as she competes in her first ever car race. Dutch-Spanish driver Maya Weug is 16 years old and having triumphed in last year’s “FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars” programme, has become the first girl to join the prestigious Ferrari Driver Academy.

Franco Colapinto has added the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) to his 2021 programme in LMP2. The 17-year-old will be the youngest driver at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for G-Drive Racing. The team also added the 2021 Asian Le Mans Series 'Rookie of the Year' to the FIA World Championship race in the 6 Hours of Spa. The news comes after the announcement that Franco will race in the inaugural Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine season with MP Motorsport.
