Hard work and
perseverance

I was born on the 2nd of January, 2002 in Albalat dels Sorells, Valencia, Spain. In 2011, at the age of 9, my father and uncle opened Karting Horta Nord and it was at that moment when I felt motorsport would be my future.

In 2015, when I was only 13, my family agreed to let me compete and we set up the Karting Horta Nord competition team. We started from scratch as the kart world was completely new to us, but we had a clear objective: a high standard trademark would end up betting on me.

Dreams come true, and in 2017, my first sport ́s dream became real. Praga España Motorsport signed me up as an Official Driver. Having competed for only two years, I became the first woman to win the regional championship Campeonato de Karting de la Comunidad Valenciana, in the junior category with the Circuit Ricardo Tormo Fórmula de Campeones” competition team.

That same year, I came 7th in the Spanish Kart Championship with “Praga España Motorsport” team.

It was here, I started to feel really comfortable in the competition and I knew I wanted to go all the way.

In the 2018 season, once again I won the regional championship Campeonato de Karting de la Comunidad Valenciana with Formula de Campeones, this time in the senior category. In addition, I managed to become runner-up of the 2018 Rotax Series at national level with Praga España Motorsport.

This is how
everything changed

In March 2019, I renewed my contract with Praga España Motorsport in order to start a single seater training programme. That is how I finally managed to get into a Formula 4, together with the Fórmula de Campeones – Praga team.

In my first season with an F4 in the Spanish Championship, I gave it my all. At the end of the year, without any previous experience, I managed to be in the very first positions in 5 races and ended up being the second female classified.

The W Series
is a
first dream

At the end of 2019 W Series knocked on my door and I obtained a place to compete in its championship, after successfully passing an entrance tests. W Series is an international Formula 3 championship for women, many people know it as Formula 1 for women. The competition consists of eight races, two of which will be held together with F1.

I am extremely competitive and self demanding. Having managed to get here, I plan to keep pushing boundaries, enjoying each and every moment given to me by sports.

Driving is my way of life and I am here to push hard in each race.
