Now she’s stepping from the paddock to the cockpit, launching her racing career and following in the footsteps of her father Michel Trollé.

A passion born early, carried far
Manuella grew up in an environment where engines, curves and road trips felt natural, and that passion only grew stronger over the years. At 18, she took the wheel of her first car, a 2012 Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo, and it became her companion across thousands of kilometers, through countries like France, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain and Germany. “It was the ideal vehicle for my first years on the road. I’m very attached to it,” she says, making the next step feel as emotional as it is ambitious.
From visual storyteller to driver’s seat
Known for her work as a photographer and videographer in lifestyle, travel and automotive worlds, Manuella has built a career around capturing motion and emotion. She is also the founder of Attitude Studio, her own audiovisual production agency, proof of an entrepreneurial drive that mirrors what racing demands: focus, resilience, and consistency. But today, she is no longer content with telling the story from the outside: she wants to live it from the inside, “behind the wheel,” where everything truly vibrates.
Cars have always had a special place in my life. The road doesn’t scare me, it inspires me. – Manuella Trollé
The next milestone: Volant Historic Tour 2026
In 2026, Manuella takes a decisive step forward: she has been selected for the Volant Historic Tour selection at Circuit du Luc (Var). The selection offers a chance to win a full season in the Formule Renault Historic Classic (BF4 Gen1). For Manuella, it’s more than a race. After years of building her career and taking on responsibilities, she’s now in a position to pursue this goal with focus, maturity, and determination.

A recognizable face: Mazda BELUX ambassador
At the same time, Manuella is stepping into a new public role as an official Mazda ambassador for Belgium and Luxembourg. Her collaboration is framed around shared values: design, driving pleasure, and a human connection to the machine, echoing Mazda’s “Jinba Ittai” philosophy. With her ambassador journey beginning in the Mazda CX-60, in the mean time she’s driving allready the new e Mazda 6. It’s a partnership that fits her naturally: a creator who lives the road as a place of freedom, and a driver now turning that freedom into a focused sporting ambition.
