On Sunday 24 October Sophia Floersch took part in the 4 Hours of Portimão, the season finale of the 2021 European Le Mans Series, racing an LMP2 Oreca 07 for Algarve Pro Racing alongside 24 Hours of Le Mans LMP2 winners Ferdinand Habsburg and Richard Bradley.
The 20-year-old German made ELMS history after running at the sharp end of the race during her stint, battling for second place, with the trio taking third spot on the podium at the chequered flag, the first overall podium for a female driver in the long history of the leading continental endurance series and her first podium since 2017.
After her success, Sophia Floersch is now in Bahrain for the final two races of the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship with the FIA Women in Motorsport supported no1 Richard Mille Racing Team Oreca-Gibson, where she is hoping for more success alongside Beitske Visser and Tatiana Calderon.
