In the following round at Jeddah, Larsen finished fifth in both races. At Miami, Larsen finished 11th in the sprint race after starting from the pit lane, in what turned out to be the round's sole race as the feature race was cancelled due to adverse conditions. Larsen then scored points all but three times and matched her season-best result of fourth at Las Vegas to end the season seventh overall.
