Fabienne Wohlwend (born 7 November 1997) is aracing driver fromLiechtenstein. She formerly competed in theW Series.[2]
Wohlwend began karting aged seven, mainly participating in Swiss andGerman championships due to educational requirements, finishing runner-up in the 2012 Schweizer Kart Meisterschaft (KF3).[3][4] Despite usually competing as a private entry with rented equipment and seldom competing internationally, she scored a top-ten in the KF3 class of the 2011Andrea Margutti Trophy.[5]
Wohlwend entered car racing in 2016, debuting in theItalian F4 Championship with Aragón Racing.[6] She failed to qualify for the final at the first round inMisano (the series ran a unique format for said round after 41 cars entered a circuit with a capacity of 36), after which she switched toDR Formula.[7] After the qualifying race system was abandoned, the Liechtensteiner did not score any points during the course of the season - her best finish being an eleventh place in the final race of the season atMonza.[8] Being the only woman competing in that championship, she won the Women's Trophy class uncontested.[9]
She moved into touring cars for 2017, successfully applying for theAudi Sport TT Cup.[1] Her best result of eighth came in her first race in the category at theHockenheimring, and the Liechtensteiner finished the season eleventh in the standings.[10]
Wohlwend twinned her application to the Audi Sport TT Cup with a partial campaign in theFerrari Challenge European Championship. Contesting six races in the amateur-level Coppa Shell class, she scored two pole positions, four podiums and a race win atImola – in the process becoming the first woman to win a race outright for theFerrari marque.[11] Wohlwend also competed in the Ferrari Challenge season-endingFinali Mondiali atMugello, finishing third in the Coppa Shell class having benefitted from a controversial pass onManuela Gostner.[12]
With the demise of the Audi TT Cup, Wohlwend remained in the Ferrari Challenge – however made the step up to the Am class of the Trofeo Pirelli division.[13] In a season plagued with inconsistency, she won three of the fourteen races – one at theCircuit de Spa-Francorchamps and both races at theMisano World Circuit – and finished second in the championship to Briton Chris Froggatt.[14] She returned to the Finali Mondiali event for2018, winning the Am class of the Trofeo Pirelli race.[15]
For 2019, Wohlwend again competed in the Trofeo Pirelli division of Ferrari Challenge, this time as a Pro driver. This campaign consisted of theValencia, Imola and Mugello events as the others clashed with her W Series campaign; she scored a best result of fourth in theWorld Final.[16] She returned in 2020 for a planned full campaign, scoring pole position in the first race at Imola before suffering a fuel pump failure on the final lap.[17] In a reduced field due to the coronavirus, she maintained consistent appearances on the podium but race wins proved elusive – and eventually missed three races in two events due to mechanical problems.[18] She finally scored a win in the penultimate race of the season at Misano before following it up with a second place in the Finali Mondiali – her third Finali podium in four attempts.[19][20]

In 2019 she returned to open-wheel racing, having qualified for theW Series – aFormula Regional championship solely for women.[21] Competing against mostly professional drivers for the first time, she finished sixth and seventh in the opening rounds at Hockenheim andZolder, having qualified on the front row in the former.[22] At the third round at Misano, she claimed the second-ever pole position for a Liechtensteiner in FIA-sanctioned open-wheel racing, a result which she converted into a podium finish.[23] She finished fourth ahead of a hard-chargingEmma Kimiläinen at theNorisring, but ended theAssen race down in fifteenth after breaking her front wing whilst trying to passGosia Rdest.[24] The final race atBrands Hatch resulted in a fifth-place finish on the tail of series championJamie Chadwick, but second place for Kimiläinen meant Wohlwend dropped to sixth in the standings.[25]
She was scheduled to return to the championship in2020 before it was cancelled in response to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[26] She contested the series’ replacementeSports league, finishing eleventh in the standings with two podiums having missed three events due to real-world Ferrari Challenge commitments.[27]
She continued to compete in the W Series on its return in2021 as aFormula One support series. In the opening race of the season inAustria, she finished on the podium after starting from ninth position.[28] Having struggled to a solitary point in thesecond event at the Red Bull Ring, she started on the front row inSilverstone and led most of the race before being overtaken byAlice Powell in the closing stages.[29] She collided withAyla Ågren on the opening lap inBudapest, breaking her front wing and becoming the only non-finisher. Wohlwend was involved in the six-car qualifying pile-up atSpa-Francorchamps, but fought back to seventh in the race.[30] She again crashed in qualifying atZandvoort, but only recovered to sixteenth. The final event of the season inAustin, her first outside of Europe, netted her a ninth and a DNF, leaving her sixth in the standings.[31]

Wohlwend returned to the championship in2022 with the CortDAO commercial entrant. At the opening round in Miami she qualified fifth for both races despite crashing late in the session – in the first race she crashed intoAbbie Eaton and she finished eleventh in the second after a grid penalty for the incident with the Briton. After a ninth-place finish in Barcelona she finished fourth at Silverstone after passingBeitske Visser on the penultimate lap. She finished seventh atCircuit Paul Ricard after a spirited fight with team-mateMarta García and followed it up with sixth at theHungaroring. The Liechtensteiner finished eighth in her first Asian race at theMarina Bay Street Circuit before the season was cut short due to financial issues; her worst W Series campaign ended with 32 points and tenth in the standings.[32]
Wohlwend made herendurance racing debut in theVLN Series in 2019, contesting VLN5 in the V4 class. She did not finish the race after a major crash atSchwedenkreuz.[33] She returned to the championship in2021 in the VT2 category, with her first race cancelled due to snowfall and her second resulting in a fourth in class, followed up by a podium in NLS3.[34][35][36] She was picked up by WS Racing to contest the2021 Nürburgring 24 Hours Qualifying Race in theirAudi R8 GT4 alongsideCarrie Schreiner, Célia Martin and Laura Kraihammer – a last-minute replacement forPippa Mann andChristina Nielsen who had failed to obtain the correct licences in time.[37] A class win followed, impressing the outfit – and they retained the Liechtensteiner but moved her to their VT2-classBMW 328i for the 24 Hour race after Mann and Nielsen met their licence requirements, where she finished ninth in class after less than half of the race was run under green flags due to torrential rain and fog.[38][39]
Wohlwend returned to the NLS in 2022 with WS Racing's "Girls Only" GT4 squad. After not starting the first race of the season due to a practice crash for co-driver Nielsen, she took part in NLS3 before finishing her first fullNürburgring 24 Hours in thirty-fifth overall and second-best BMW outright alongside Schreiner, Martin and Mann.[40] She returned to the category in 2023 with the same team in an updated model M4, however her entry was disqualified from the first round after breaching the Nürburgring's noise restrictions.[41] The "Girls Only" crew went on to win both Nürburgring 24 HourQualirennen heats in class that season, but finished behind their team car in themain event having suffered a broken rear axle from a crash in the night.[42] Wohlwend and Martin contested two more NLS races in 2023, retiring from one with the Girls Only squad from a puncture and finishing on the podium in the SP10 class in the finale with a PROsport Racing Aston Martin.[43]
Wohlwend returned to the team for 2024, scoring her third class podium in another weather-truncatedNürburgring 24 Hours.[44] An oversubscription of drivers to the project in2025 led to her competing in only two NLS races prior to the 24 Hours, winning one of the Qualirennen in torrential rain, before finishing fourth in the AT3 class of theN24 after co-driverPatricija Stalidzane ran up the back of a GT3 car entering aCode 60 at Metzgesfeld in the night.[45]
Wohlwend and the "Girls Only" project will upgrade to aPorsche 911 GT3 Cup car for the 2026 NLS season.[46]
Wohlwend was announced as a late replacement forAurelia Nobels for theGodspeed Kochi franchise in theinaugural Indian Racing League.[47] Following the cancelled season-opener inHyderabad, Wohlwend scored dual podiums in the first round atIrungattukottai and went on to help the Kochi team secure the teams' championship alongside Ruhaan Alva,Nikhil Bohra and Alister Yoong.[48] The Liechtensteiner returned in2023 to help defend the championship, but failed to finish any of her three races in a disrupted season due toCyclone Michaung and ultimately finished ninth through co-driver Alva's results.[49]
Wohlwend returned to the series in2024, afterSourav Ganguly and the Shrachi Group bought out the Godspeed Kochi franchise and re-named it "Rarh Bengal Tigers" – retaining the existing four drivers.[50] Through consistent top-five and podium finishes, Wohlwend and Alva were in championship contention entering the final race of the season inCoimbatore before Alva lost control at the wet start and collided with Akash Gowda; the pair finished the season third.[51]
The Liechtensteiner was picked by theGoa Aces in the2025 season draft, pairing up with reigning dual championRaoul Hyman.[52] She finished runner-up in her first race of the season.[53]
Wohlwend joined her NLS Series co-driver Martin in theADAC GT4 Germany series for2023 with Aston Martin team PROsport Racing.[54] Despite Wohlwend running inside the top ten in the first race at the Nürburgring before a puncture and qualifying inside the top fifteen for the second race at the Nürburgring, the pair ultimately scored just one points finish at theSachsenring and ended the season thirty-fourth in the standings as their team-mates Hugo Sasse andMike David Ortmann claimed the title.[55]
Wohlwend made her GT3 début in the2025 GT Winter Series, driving an Aston Martin Vantage alongside Adrian Rziczny for PROsport Racing at the final round of the season in Barcelona.[56] Wohlwend crashed on the opening lap of her sprint race in damp conditions, the damage proving too great to repair for the final race of the weekend.[57]
Wohlwend has been nominated for Liechtenstein Sportswoman of the Year six times between 2018 and 2025.[58] Since July 2023, Wohlwend is one of six Liechtenstein athletes to be employed by theLiechtenstein Olympic Committee.[59][60]
