Female Single-Seater Drivers Around the World: Austria


Corinna Kamper

There are now enough Austrian single-seater drivers to warrant their own post. Most of the drivers here have been split off from Female Single-Seater Drivers Around the World: Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Claudia Steffek, Bianca Steiner and Osmunde Dolischka have their own profiles.

Jorden Dolischka - Austrian former karter who races a Formula Renault in Europe. She has been most active in the Drexler AFR Pokal. In 2021, she scored three class victories at the REd Bull Ring and Salzburg, finishing fifth in the championship. Later, she tested an F4 car in the USA for W Series, but was not selected. Her Formula Renault debut was in 2020, when she was third at Brno. In 2022 and 2023, she raced karts as a senior. She is the daughter of 1990s single-seater racer Osmunde Dolischka.


Corinna Kamper - Austrian racer who began her senior career in 2011, after some years of karting. That year, she used a Formula BMW in two different series: the Intersteps Championship in the UK, and Formula Lista Junior in continental Europe. She did best in Formula Lista, scoring a win in her maiden season, at Monza. She was sixth overall. Her best Intersteps finish was fourth, at Brands Hatch. She was tenth in that championship. In 2012, she moved up to the Northern Europe Formula Renault series, hoping to finish in the top third of the drivers’ table. It proved much harder going. Although she had a good finishing record, her best result was only a twelfth place, at Oschersleben. She was 41st overall. She continued in the series in 2013, driving for Fortec. Her best finishes were fourteenth places, at Spa and Zandvoort. She was 34th overall. In 2014, she raced in Formula Masters in Germany, at two of the meetings, at the Red Bull Ring and Oschersleben. Her best result was ninth, at the Red Bull Ring, which is her home track. She was 16th in the championship, driving in a single-driver team (HS Engineering). She announced her retirement from the track in 2015, but attempted a comeback via W Series in 2022. She was not selected.

Claudia Kreuzsaler - Austrian Formula Three driver in the 1990s. She entered the German, Austrian and French championships between 1991 and 1995, driving different cars for different teams. During this time, she did not manage a complete season with one team, perhaps due to sponsorship issues. Her best finish was third at Salzburg, in an Austrian race. She was less successful in Germany and France. Her highest overall position was twelfth, in the 1993 German series, although she had only driven in two races.
