Miracle crash survivor Sophia Floersch hints of return to the 2019 Macau Grand Prix – ‘I really want to go’
- German teenager wants to compete on the 6.2km Guia circuit again after making world headlines with her spectacular crash last year
- The 18-year-old has three races to go in the Formula Regional European Championship, where she is lying sixth in the drivers’ standings
The German teenager who survived a horrific crash at last year’s Macau Grand Prix, is hinting at a return to the race that made world headlines in 2018.
Incredibly, the brave 18-year-old German was back in her car four months after undergoing 11 hours of surgery to repair several spinal fractures and she told fans on social media of her desire to return to the famous 6.2km Guia circuit.
“I really want to go to Macau GP 2019,” she tweeted last week. She also teased fans by saying she had a big announcement to make and invited fans to guess what it was but the tweet has since been removed.
Floersch is currently competing in the inaugural Formula Regional European Championship. She is lying in sixth place overall in the drivers’ standings in the competition for Formula Three drivers.
The 18-driver field includes 17-year-old David Schumacher, the son of former Formula One driver, Ralf Schumacher, of Germany. She has three more races to contest over the weekend at the Monza racetrack in northern Italy before the championship comes to a close.
