Farah AlYousef’s participation follows local hero Reema Juffali’s groundbreaking appearance in last year’s F1 ACADEMY race in Jeddah and stands as a powerful symbol of Saudi Arabia’s growing presence on the global motorsport stage, especially for aspiring female racers across the Kingdom. Known for her passion, talent, and determination, AlYousef has already carved an inspiring path in the sport: she was crowned Champion of the Saudi Women’s Karting Championship in 2022, secured an impressive 26th place at the Karting World Finals, and is set to represent Saudi Arabia at the upcoming FW Nations Cup Finals in Dubai this May.

Reflecting on her upcoming debut at the Jeddah Round, Farah said: "Racing as a Wild Card entry in the F1 ACADEMY on home soil here in Jeddah is truly a dream come true. Motorsport has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and to line up alongside some of the most talented young drivers in the world at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit is an incredibly proud moment. I hope my participation inspires young girls across Saudi Arabia to believe in themselves and chase their dreams. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but moments like this remind me why I love racing. I’m ready to give it my all and represent my country with pride."

Established in 2023, the F1 ACADEMY is designed to accelerate the development of young female drivers aged between 16 and 25, offering them a dedicated platform to progress their careers within the international motorsport ecosystem. The 2025 season features seven rounds, all staged as support races to the FIA Formula 1 World Championship across Asia, Europe, and North America.

Following the season opener in Shanghai, Round 2 will now head to Jeddah before moving on to Miami, Montreal, Zandvoort, and Singapore, culminating in the season finale in Las Vegas from 20-22 November 2025.

Farah AlYousef’s wild card entry reflects Saudi Arabia’s ongoing commitment to empowering local talent and creating new opportunities for Saudi women to compete and thrive at the highest levels of international motorsport.
