Who is Kelsey?
Kelsey Pinkowski is beginning on her significant journey in motorsport during the 2025 season, marking her full-time debut in the Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) with Crosslink Motorsports. At 21, she is among the few women to compete in this series, which serves as a stepping stone to the U.S. Formula 4 Championship. Pinkowski is set to compete in all six rounds of the season.
In addition to her Ligier JFC commitments, Pinkowski is expanding her racing experience internationally by joining Team KCMG in Japan's F4 Kyojo Cup at Fuji Speedway. She is also competing in the FX class of the SCCA Majors Championship, where she currently holds ninth place in the standings after the opening round. Balancing her racing career with academics, Pinkowski is a third-year Global Business Management student at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and previously served as the Business Associate for RIT’s successful Formula SAE team. Her commitment to both her studies and racing has earned her recognition as one of the finalists for the 2025 Gorsline Scholarship, an award honoring promising young racing talent.
