British-New Zealand racing driver (born 2009)
Emily Cotty (born 14 August 2009) is a British and New Zealander racing driver currently competing for R-ace GP in the Italian F4 Championship.
Cotty took up horse riding at an early age,[1] before beginning her karting career when she was eleven, with the use of indoor karts.[2] After switching to regular karts in 2022,[3][4] Cotty spent three seasons in karting, most notably winning the Super One Series Junior Rotax title in 2024.[5]
After a planned drive in Nordic 4 with STEP Motorsport fell through,[6] Cotty elected to test Formula 4 machinery for most of 2024,[7] before making her single-seater debut for Phinsys by Argenti in the F4 British Championship. Racing at the Silverstone (National) round, Cotty finished 18th and 19th in her first two races in single-seaters.[8] Later that year, Cotty competed in Formula Trophy UAE with AGI Sport,[9] finishing the championship in 23rd, with a best result of 15th in the penultimate race at Yas Marina.[10]
Cotty joined the 2025 F4 Middle East Championship as her first full season of single seater racing.[11] Her first points finish came during race 2 at the Dubai Autodrome round, finishing 12th,[12] before taking her best result of 11th the following round at Yas Marina and securing her second rookie podium of the season.[13] During that winter, Cotty also made a one-off appearance for Hitech TGR in the season-ending round of the Formula Winter Series at Barcelona,[14] in which she took a best result of 15th in race one.[15]
Cotty competed in the Italian F4 Championship with R-ace GP.[16] She finished 17th during her debut at the Misano World Circuit for round 1,[17] and 16th during the next round at Vallelunga Circuit.[18] Additional class wins at Monza, Mugello, and Imola helped extend her lead in the championship.[19][20][21] Cotty had her personal best finish of the season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, finishing in 11th during race two.[22] She clinched the women’s title during the final round at Misano by 51 points over rival Payton Westcott.[23]
