Solenn Amrouche will contest the 2026 GB4 Championship with Arden Motorsport, in what will be her first full season of racing in the United Kingdom and another important step in her single-seater career.

The 22-year-old French driver arrives in GB4 with a diverse résumé spanning sportscars, endurance racing and, more recently, single seaters. She made her formula debut in 2025 in the Hoosier Formula Cup, driving the highly demanding Tatuus T318 Formula Regional car. From the outset, Amrouche ran consistently near the front of the field, securing a P5 finish on debut.

At Mugello, she continued to demonstrate steady progress, recording top-10 finishes throughout the weekend; further improvements followed at Portimão, where she raised her personal benchmark by finishing fourth in Race 2. Regularly running within reach of the podium positions, Amrouche eventually claimed her first overall top-three at MotorLand Aragón, taking P3 overall and P2 in the rookie classification in the opening race of the weekend. She concluded her debut single-seater season classified fifth in the Rookie standings and seventh overall.

Before turning her focus to formula racing, Amrouche had already built a solid reputation in endurance competitions. She made her full-time sportscar debut in 2023, primarily competing in endurance events with French outfit Vortex. That season proved highly successful: she finished vice-champion in the Spanish GT Championship’s GPX category, collecting eight podiums, four class wins and one outright victory. Alongside this programme, she also contested selected rounds of the Ultimate Cup Endurance GT Touring Challenge.

The daughter of fellow Vortex driver Lionel Amrouche, with whom she frequently shared driving duties, Solenn began her career in karting before progressing to Mitjet and Fun Cup machinery. She later competed part-time in ROSCAR and, after testing the Vortex V8 for the first time, committed to a full-time campaign in 2023.

In 2024, she expanded her racing portfolio further, announcing programmes in the Ultimate Cup GT Sprint, a sophomore season in the Spanish GT Championship and selected rounds of the competitive Creventic 24H Series. Despite a part-time campaign in the Spanish-based GT-CET, she secured fourth in the class standings, demonstrating clear development in both sprint and endurance formats - including her first appearances in 24-hour races. After finishing second in class at Portimão in the 992 AM category, she went on to claim victory at the 24 Hours of Barcelona in the GTX class.

While embarking on her single-seater journey in 2025 with the Hoosier Formula Cup, Amrouche also maintained endurance commitments, notably in the Creventic 24H Series. Most recently, she competed in the Dubai 24 Hours and the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi in a Porsche 992, where she ran at the front of her class.

Over the winter, Amrouche participated in multiple GB4 test days and now becomes the first French driver confirmed in the championship’s history. She joins a growing group of female drivers aiming to secure the €50,000 career progression prize, which supports a potential move into F1 Academy.

"I am very proud to be making my debut in GB4 in the United Kingdom and to represent France in this championship", Solenn said. "It is an important step in my single-seater progression, and I am really looking forward to starting the season to continue learning and gaining experience. My objective is clearly to fight for the title of top female driver."

"I am also delighted to be joining Arden Motorsport, a team that won this title last season. Their experience and expertise provide me with the ideal environment to develop and perform. We have all the tools to be competitive this year, and I am determined to make the most of this opportunity."

"We're delighted to welcome Solenn to the team for this year's GB4 Championship" added Arden Motorsport Team Principal Garry Horner. "She’s established a very good career for herself already in endurance racing, but experience in single-seaters will make her a more complete competitor."

"Judging by her results in the Ultimate Cup last year, she's been able to make a strong adaptation, and by working with us in what looks set to be a very competitive GB4 season, she should make further strides forward. As a team, we won the Female Drivers prize with Ava Dobson in 2025, and I think Solenn should be a very strong contender for that with us in 2026."
