Motorsport.Com is reporting that Junior Formula driver Sophia Floersch turns Stateside for her next racing endeavor, as she joins HMD Motorsports for the 2025 season in Indy NXT.
A 24-year-old from Grünwald, Germany, Floersch is making the move to North America as part of a switch to the top developmental category for the IndyCar Series following an extended run in several series — mostly junior formula — throughout Europe. She had her maiden outing in Indy NXT machinery last month with HMD Motorsports in a series test at Barber Motorsports Park, where her pace progressed throughout the 92 laps logged.
“I’m excited about joining HMD Motorsports and coming to the United States to race in the Indy NXT by Firestone Series,” expressed Floersch. “My aspiration has always been to race with the best of the best. From the beginning of my career, I’ve worked very hard with my team daily towards that goal. I’ve raced in different categories in most of the racing markets in the world. It was only natural for us to try the US now, as it is the biggest racing market worldwide.”
