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.
