The penultimate round of the 2025 F1 Academy season takes us to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, where Lia Block is set to return to the site of her strongest weekend from last year’s campaign.

Fresh from a superb P2 in Zandvoort – her maiden podium in the series – Lia arrives in Singapore full of confidence. 

That result, combined with consistent points across the second half of the season, has lifted her to P9 in the standings with two rounds remaining.

This is a circuit the American already knows well. In her rookie season she twice finished P4 at Marina Bay, narrowly missing out on a podium. With the “silverware monkey” now off her back after Zandvoort, she’ll be eager to go one better under the lights and extend her momentum into the season finale.

Qualifying is the only session after sunset, with the rest of the weekend running in Singapore’s searing heat and humidity – conditions that promise to test drivers as much as the track itself.

Lia has grown up in the motorsport world and spent many of her childhood years in the paddock. She began racing karts at 11 years old and entered her first off-road racing series in the same year.

Lia then started drifting cars at 13 years old and assumed drag-racing duties in the famous 1,400HP Mustang ‘Hoonicorn’ the year after.
She continued to build her skills in off-road racing and karting, becoming a front-runner in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series’ lower classes by 2021 and taking multiple karting wins.

She later took part in the final round of the 2021 American Rally Association Championship in the Oregon Trail Rally as a 15-year-old, for the Hoonigan Racing Division, marking her first national-level rally.

Lia undertook more regular rallying in 2022 as part of the ARA championship, a season which included her best finish at the Southern Ohio Forest Rally where she placed 9th overall and 3rd in the O2WD class.

This proved an even more successful event for her in the 2023 season, achieving a 6th place finish overall and a victory in the O2WD class.

With two rallies to go, Lia secured the 2023 ARA O2WD championship to become the youngest ARA champion in history.

2023 has been a busy year for Lia, competing in Extreme E as part of Carl Cox Motorsport for the second half of the season alongside Timo Scheider. She has also begun her first season in Nitrocross NEXT, the junior category of the championship previously known as Nitro Rallycross.

In November 2023, it was announced that Lia will compete in the 2024 F1 Academy season with ART Grand Prix, as well as coming onboard as a Williams Racing Academy Driver.

Later in the month, Lia competed in the Baja 1000 alongside her mother Lucy Block and the Block House Racing Team. Lia and the team raced to victory following a grueling 34 hours of rally racing in Mexico.
