Harvard grad to drive P1 Motor Club Radical SR3 #44, sponsored by Primal & Mille
FORT PIERCE, Fla. – Feb. 24, 2025 – Professional racecar driver and P1 Motor Club Founding Partner Aurora Straus is set to make her return to the Radical Cup North America series at Sebring International Raceway during Round 1 of the Radical Cup North America, Feb. 27 – March 2. Straus, who will drive the P1 Motor Club Radical SR3 #44, sponsored by Primal Racing and Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille, will also compete at Barber Motorsports Park, May 2-4, as a support race for IndyCar.
“I am honored to be representing P1 Motor Club, Primal Racing, and Richard Mille in the Radical Cup North America series, which has gotten incredibly competitive in the last few years,” said Straus, a Richard Mille ambassador. “I’ve had strong showings in the series in 2022 and 2023, and am hoping for some repeat performances in 2025.”
Straus has made history across various series, including as Rookie of the Year in IMSA, as the runner-up champion in Pirelli World Challenge, and as the first woman globally to win a race in Radical Cup North America.
“Aurora is a proven talent, and we are thrilled to welcome her back to the Radical Cup,” said Americas Director of Radical Motorsport Tom Drewer. “We look forward to seeing her continue to push the Radical brand to higher levels.”
Straus’s return commemorates a new partnership between P1, The World’s Pinnacle Motorsports Community™ located 45 minutes north of Palm Beach, and Primal, the premier Radical Motorsport racecar dealer and racing school, to develop Radical Palm Beach, the world’s largest Radical dealership, at P1’s R&D Park.
As part of this groundbreaking partnership, P1 members will be able to enjoy unique Radical driving experiences on both P1 circuits – the private 4.5-mile P1 Circuit and 3.2-mile Treasure Coast Circuit – as individual day rentals, in P1’s members-only racing series, and in other races nationwide. Primal Racing will provide onsite service, maintenance, and technical support in its state-of-the-art shop at the R&D Park.
“The Radical platform stands unmatched in its ability to blend exceptional performance with accessibility, making it ideal for drivers of all skill levels,” said Ryan Nicol, CEO of Primal Racing Group. “This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to grow alongside P1 from the ground up and we can’t wait to get started.”
