The Malta Racing Club has announced that Laura Frendo will represent Malta at the 2026 Ladies European Championship organised by the European Trotting Amateur Drivers Federation.
The championship will take place at Kincsem Park Racecourse on Friday 8 May and Saturday 9 May. The two day event will bring together amateur female drivers from across Europe to compete in six championship races.
A total of 13 drivers from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland will participate in this year’s edition. Each driver will compete in four of the six races, with points awarded according to finishing positions.
This will mark Malta’s third participation in the championship following the country’s previous appearances through Cherise Farrugia in 2023 and 2024.
Laura Frendo obtained her driving licence through the Malta Racing Club in 2023. In four years of official competitive racing, she has participated in 110 races and recorded seven victories, together with 30 top four finishes.
The Ladies European Championship is organised annually by FEGAT and is recognised as a platform that promotes female participation in trotting across Europe. The event also provides amateur drivers with the opportunity to gain international racing experience.
The Malta Racing Club thanked EquestriMalta for its continued financial support towards Malta’s participation in international competitions. The club stated that the collaboration between the two organisations continues to provide Maltese drivers with opportunities to compete abroad and gain further experience at European level.
