Solenn Amrouche

Solenn Amrouche is a French driver who began her career in sportscars, before switching to single-seaters. She is known for racing a Vortex sports prototype in Europe.

She began her career in the Mitjet silhouette series when she was 17, and also raced a Porsche and a Fun Cup VW with her father, Lionel Amrouche.

Her first full season in sportscars was in 2023, and she was a class runner-up in the Spanish GT Endurance championship. She shared the car with her father and won one race outright. They were fourth in the championship, having never finished lower than fourth. This was a new version of the car too. As well as the Spanish championship, Solenn shared the Vortex with Lorina Padovani for the Ultimate Cup in France, finishing as class runner-up twice. She also took part in the Barcelona 24 Hours with three male team-mates: Stephane Cottrell, Julien Boillot and Philippe Gruau. They were 31st overall and sixth in class. This was her first experience of a 24-hour race.

She continued to compete for the Vortex team in 2024, in the Spanish Endurance Championship and in the 24H Series European championship, where she picked up a GTX class win at Barcelona. She also raced a Porsche in the 992 class for the Seblajoux team, finishing 19th and twelfth at Portimao.

Her Spanish GT season was plagued with car problems to begin with and she wrote it off as a development year, but still picked up a class win at Navarra. This was after missing the first two races with a malfunctioning Vortex. She was fourth individually in the GTX standings and ninth overall in the championship.

In 2025, she changed to single-seaters, racing a Formula Regional-spec Tatuus F3 car in the Hoosier Cup, which runs as part of the Ultimate Cup series. She started slowly at Paul Ricard, but got quicker as the weekend went on and was fifth in Race 3. This improved to fourth in Portugal, then third place at Aragon, her best of the season. Her final championship position was seventh.

The Vortex had not been forgotten either and she did one race in it at the Dubai 24 Hours, finishing third in class. Her team-mates were her father, Gilles Courtois and Philippe Bonnel.

She took her single-seater racing further for 2026. At the end of of 2025, she was announced as a driver in the GB4 championship in the UK, driving for the Arden team.
