Donington Circuit, UK, October 6, 2025 — American racing talent Ava Dobson has been officially named the Top Female GB4 Driver for the 2025 season, earning the title of highest-classified female in the championship standings. As part of the honor, she has been awarded $50,000 toward securing her seat in the F1 Academy — further propelling her ascent through the ranks of global motorsport.

Dobson’s rise began with a top-10 finish during her GB4 debut at Silverstone in 2024, and accelerated in 2025 during her first full campaign with Arden Motorsport.Her growing reputation earned her one of the most visible opportunities in women’s racing: selected as the official F1 Academy Wild Card Driver at the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. Competing on home soil in front of a global audience, Dobson proved she could compete on the world stage.

Now, with her latest accolade secured, Dobson will step into international territory once again as she prepares to compete in the Saudi F4 Championship, with her sights firmly set on a full-time F1 Academy seat.

“This award is very meaningful to me — it’s proof that hard work pays off,” said Dobson. “Being chosen as the F1 Academy Wild Card in Miami was already a dream come true, and now with the $50,000 prize, I’m even closer to making my Academy ambitions a reality. I’m ready to keep pushing boundaries for women in motorsport.”

“Ava’s trajectory is remarkable,” said Matt Parry, Owner/ Founder PPM Motorsports.. “From GB4 debut to F1 Academy Wild Card to Top Female Driver — her momentum is undeniable.”
