• Wishing Sophia Floersch a very Happy 25th birthday today.

    A history maker in recent seasons, Sophia became the first female racer to finish on the overall podium in the European Le Mans Series, taking 3rd at Portimao with for the Algarve Pro Racing Team (APRT) in 2021, having already made history by being part of the Richard Mille Racing Team's all-female entry in the 24 Heures du Mans.

    In 2020 Floersch competed in Formula 3, only the 2nd woman to do so after the rebrand from GP3, combining her season with prototype racing entering the Le Castellet 240 with Beitske Visser.

    She also raced in the DTM and in F3 in 2019, but is probably best known for her awful high speed crash at the 2018 Macau Grand Prix, from which she has fully recovered after suffering a fractured spine.
    An horrendous incident, but one that perversely put her in motorsport spotlight.

    Prior to that, fans of the BTCC & TOCA package will remember her racing in and winning the Ginetta Junior Championship, showcasing her obvious talent in tin tops and in open wheel racing alike.

    Two years ago Sophia drove Giovanni Amati's 1992 Brabham BT60B at the Gulf Historic GP at the Dubai Autodrome, a car that raced before she was born - her first taste of F1 machinery.

    In 2023 she became the first female to officially register points in an F3 race, doing so with her PHM Racing by Charouz team at Spa before joining Van Amersfoort Racing in 2024, taking a best of 12th at Imola before taking on the role of test & development driver with APRT in 2025 - a year spent promoting females in motorsport and other industries.

    Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Sophia

  • Something’s coming.
    As freelance testers joined us Zdeněk Štybar and Jakub Svoboda (Kolokrám). They helped us push the next road prototype to its limits. We ran blind A/B tests - same setup, one change at a time to chase that edge: snap, control, all-day speed.
    “We tested blind—we didn’t know what was different between the bikes. I focused on high-speed stability, confidence in the lean, and acceleration response. This prototype feels balanced: it tracks precisely, transfers power efficiently, and stays comfortable even after long hours. I’m curious to see how the Superior team builds on our findings, and I’m looking forward to the result,” says Zdeněk Štybar.
    Jakub Svoboda adds: “The testing was rigorous. The bike is intuitive, predictable in tougher sections, and accelerates quickly without needless losses. I appreciate that Superior listens to riders and tunes the ride feel into a compact, confident package.”
    Designer Martin Haman: “We wanted proof on the road how one millimeter changes confidence at speed and precision in the drop.”
    Product Manager Petr Lavička: “After RR, the brief is simple: speed with zero compromise in control and comfort. Zdeněk and Jakub gave us razor-sharp feedback.”
    No full reveal. Not yet. But the lines are getting faster. Stay close.
