F1 Academy 2024 - Zandvoort

After a long summer break, the second F1 Academy season continues in Zandvoort, just moments before the F1 2024's Dutch Grand Prix.

For this season's Dutch campaign, they've selected Nina Gademan as their wild card entry representing this race's sponsor; The Female Quotient. The Female Quotient is the first female-founded media and experimental brand featuring the largest community of women in business.

Race 1 of the F1 Academy season was rescheduled to the same day as the Dutch Grand Prix due to bad weather. This is the first time in the history of the F1 Academy that a race has been rescheduled for this reason. The drivers will now have to face two races in one day.

Following Doriane Pin's penalization due to a false start, Race 1 saw Abbi Pulling net another win followed by Nerea Marti and Maya Weug. Amazingly, the Wild Card Entry for Zandvoort finished 4th. In the final race, meanwhile, following Gademan's penalization for collision with another driver, Doriane Pin delivered a revengeful pole-to-win result, beating the likes of Weug and Pulling.

The next race is in Singapore from September 20-22, 2024.
