We are immensely pleased to announce a historic moment in the career of Théophile Naël: his victory at the Grand Prix of Macao 2025 during the FIA FR World Cup. On one of the most legendary and challenging circuits in the world, Théophile achieved one of the most remarkable feats in the recent history of French motorsport.

An exceptional race: a legendary finale

The weekend was intense, notably clinching the pole position with 2 and a half tenths of an advantage in the tight streets of Macao, as well as in the pre-final where Théophile set the fastest lap in the race.

In the final race, after starting from the second row, everything came down to the last moments. Two laps from the finish, Théophile, in 3rd position, executed a spectacular double overtake on Mari Boya and Enzo Deligny on the straight leading to the Lisboa corner.

A few seconds later, a final Safety Car came out, freezing the classification: Théophile Naël wins the race and becomes the FIA FR World Champion in Macao.

This victory places him alongside legends such as Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Félix Rosenqvist, who also triumphed on this unique circuit.

As stated by RTL, he even becomes the first Frenchman to triumph in Macao in 21 years, succeeding Alexandre Prémat.

The champion's words

In an interview given to AutoHebdo, Théophile perfectly summarizes the intensity of the moment:

« I didn't really believe it in the last lap. They were battling in front, I braked late... I just put my foot down. »

He adds:

« The team has been incredible. We had the speed all weekend. »

This victory is the result of exceptional collective work, but also of remarkable composure in an environment where the slightest mistake is unforgiving.

A strong signal for the future of his career

This performance confirms Théophile's status as a great hope for motorsport.
After a convincing 2024 season in Regional Formula and solid beginnings in FIA F3, this success in Macao marks a decisive step in his ascent to the highest levels.

RTL emphasizes that this victory further enhances his image as a French prodigy and validates his progress in international formulas.
