Nina Gademan secures Wild Card entry for Round 4 in Zandvoort

Dutch racer Nina Gademan will make her F1 ACADEMY debut this month, joining the 2024 grid as the Wild Card entry for Round 4 in Zandvoort.

The 20-year-old will be in action in The Female Quotient-liveried car, as part of their landmark collaboration with F1 ACADEMY. The #4 entry will once again be operated by reigning Teams’ Champions PREMA Racing, alongside their three full-time entries.

Gademan, from Wijster in The Netherlands, made her single-seater debut this year. Currently competing in British F4, she earned her maiden rookie podium at the Thruxton Circuit.

Prior to this, she achieved the Karting Slalom Gold medal at the 2019 FIA Motorsport Games. In addition, she took the leading rookie honours in the PTC Cup and finished second in the TB class of the 24 Hours of Zolder, as part of an all-female line-up. Alongside this, Gademan is a well-known e-sports content creator.

Speaking about the prospect of racing as the F1 ACADEMY Wild Card entry in Zandvoort, Gademan said: “I believe the Wild Card entries present an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate what we are capable of in a field like F1 ACADEMY. I am truly grateful for this chance and for the support I have received from the F1 ACADEMY and the PREMA Racing team.

“I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to The Female Quotient for their support of the Wild Card initiative in Zandvoort. I will give my utmost to showcase my abilities and make the most of this opportunity.”

Gademan becomes the third Wild Card entry of the season, with Courtney Crone and Reema Juffali taking to the track in Miami and Jeddah, respectively.
