THE FEMALE REVOLUTION IN MOTORSPORT Mexican motorsport is undergoing a transformation, and one of its key figures is Alexandra Mohnhaupt, who has become a symbol of female inclusion in a sport traditionally dominated by men. With a career full of achievements, the Puebla-born driver challenges stereotypes and paves the way for future generations of women in motorsport. A NEW CHAPTER WITH PRIME SPORTS RACING TEAM Mohnhaupt’s arrival at Prime Sports Racing Team marks a crucial moment in her career. Behind the wheel of the #05truck, she will compete in the challenging Trucks México Series 2025, backed by a top-tier group of sponsors, including Atunsito, Cafedoc, Beforinv, Dycinsa, Expo Cerámicas, GP Commerce, Hidrolock, Klamm de Chiapas, La Flor de Córdoba, Maeesa, Pipsa Hub, Profinmex, Sardimex, Toro Presto, and Ultralam. Her addition to the team not only strengthens her competitive ambition but also boosts the growth of female participation in Mexican motorsport. A LEGACY OF PASSION AND PERSEVERANCE From her early days in karting, Alexandra has showcased exceptional talent. In 2018, she made history as the first woman to win a Formula 4 race, a milestone achieved at the Autódromo Miguel E. Abed. Her journey through various categories, including Formula 3, has established her as one of the leading figures in Mexican motorsport. However, her path has not been without challenges—an accident in Belgium tested her resilience when she lost consciousness after a 250 km/h impact. Instead of giving up, she used the experience as fuel to continue building her legacy in the sport. MOHNHAUPT SHARES HER VISION FOR THE FUTURE Through her social media, Alexandra Mohnhaupt expressed her excitement for this new challenge: “I’m very excited to announce that starting March 23, I will be competing in Trucks México Series with Prime Sports Racing Team. It’s an honor to be part of a team so committed to motorsport and to promoting women in this sport. See you on the track!” THE CHALLENGE: SÚPER ÓVALO CHIAPAS Mohnhaupt’s next challenge will take place at the demanding Súper Óvalo Chiapas on March 22-23. The competition promises to be one of the toughest of the season, where the Puebla-born driver will put her skills to the test on a track that demands precision, speed, and strategy. With the full support of Prime Sports Racing Team and a dedicated crew focused on her development, Alexandra Mohnhaupt is ready to push boundaries and prove that her name is destined to shine in Mexican motorsport. The road to victory starts now!

The Súper Copa Roshfrans 2025 delivered a day full of adrenaline and drama at Autódromo Monterrey, where a fire during Saturday’s practice sessions put the second round of the championship at risk. Despite the incident, the competition proceeded as scheduled on Sunday, leaving unforgettable moments—such as the heroic feat of Santos Zanella, who managed to reach the podium after losing his car in the blaze. THE FIRE THAT SET OFF THE ALARMS Chaos erupted during practice when a GTM category car went off track and, after crashing into the tire barriers, ignited a fire in the dry grass nearby. The flames spread quickly, consuming part of the circuit and causing more than a two-hour delay in track activities. The situation forced all fire extinguishers to be emptied and required water trucks to be refilled before action could resume. The most affected vehicle was the #44 car from Z Racing Team, driven by Santos Zanella. In the last chicane of the track, his front right rim broke, leaving his car stranded in an area where the flames had already spread. Fortunately, the driver escaped unharmed, but the material damage was devastating. SECURITY MEASURES STRENGTHENED THE EVENT In response to the emergency, Civil Protection acted swiftly to extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading to other areas of the racetrack. Event officials explained that this type of fire is common during this season due to static electricity and the presence of dry vegetation around the track in Monterrey. To ensure safety during the race, the organizers brought in additional water trucks and increased surveillance in critical areas of the circuit. Track marshals were also instructed to react faster to any potential fire outbreak. “We cannot allow an event like this to jeopardize the race and the safety of the participants again,” event organizers stated. SANTOS ZANELLA: FROM FIRE TO THE PODIUM Despite the devastating loss of his car on Saturday, Z Racing Team refused to give up. Alfredo Meza, a fellow driver in the same category, offered his car so that Santos Zanella could race on Sunday in Race 2. With incredible determination, the driver from Puebla put on an outstanding performance and secured third place on the podium, an unthinkable result after losing his vehicle. “It was a weekend full of ups and downs, but thanks to Meza’s support, we were able to compete and salvage valuable points,” Zanella said after the race. The team leaves Monterrey with mixed emotions but with the satisfaction of turning a tragedy into an opportunity to showcase their resilience. Now, they must work on rebuilding the #44 car for the next round of the championship. A REFLECTION ON SAFETY AT RACETRACKS Fortunately, there were no injuries, but this incident highlights an important lesson for the Súper Copa Roshfransorganization and other motorsports events in Mexico. Safety must be the top priority, and the fact that the fire spread so quickly suggests the need for better preventive measures. It is crucial to consider alternatives to dry grass, such as gravel or sand, to prevent a single spark from causing a dangerous situation. Additionally, ensuring enough fire extinguishers and water trucks are available at all times is essential to maintaining event safety. Motorsport is a high-risk sport, but proper planning can prevent many of these situations. Let’s hope that what happened in Monterrey serves as a wake-up call to reinforce safety measures and protect both drivers and spectators in future races.
