FORMULA WOMAN ANNOUNCEMENT

All applicants from last year and this year please read on regarding the 22/23 Formula Woman Competition.

THE COMPETITION

Motorsport is not cheap and relies very much on sponsorship. The Formula Woman concept allows women with a passion for driving to enter motorsport at a cost-effective level.

The £99 access fee not only gives you access to the Portal and membership pack, but also gives you the chance to undertake a free assessment at a track in the UK or possibly a track near you if you are overseas. However, many of you secured personal sponsors to help you with travel and accommodation and also training, which of course we encourage.

For those in last year’s competition, who didn’t make the final and who would like to have another attempt, there will be a £75 admin fee to guarantee your place. For those who made the finals, providing you have registered your interest with Formula Woman, you will receive a free assessment day.

For all new members, you will automatically be allocated an assessment day very soon at a track as close to you as possible. In North America, these assessments will take place at the end of October and the UK assessments will be in November.

If you get through to the finals, these will take place in the UK at the end of November or possibly the first week of December. Last year we didn’t leave enough time between the finals and the season commencing, this year the time in Jan through to April will give us sufficient training time to get the winners up to speed.

THE TRAINING

Formula Woman will be arranging training days at circuits across the UK and also some of our assessment day tracks overseas will do the same.

The Boot Tour we operated recently was a huge success and offered training on the track, in karts, on the simulator and included a sponsor workshop. A further boot tour was recently announced for September and this has filled up very quickly. It’s likely one more will be arranged in October.

The one-to-one training and introductory course at circuits around the UK are also becoming very popular and in motorsport terms are extremely good value, as they are subsidised by our partners Trade Centre Group.

We encourage all applicants to get on track, go on simulators, get fit and prepare well. Whether you train with Formula Woman, other driver coaches, attend track days and increase your fitness levels, being well prepared will help you reach the finals.

Some applicants just want to engage with the global Formula Woman community, so the assessment days allow you to meet like-minded women and have a lot of fun together!

THE PRIZE

There will be two separate prizes this year!

Dependent on what you disclosed on your application form, you will be entered into either green or blue sectors.
Green is for novices (two made our GT cup team) and Blue is for those who have had some experience (two made our GT Cup team) One prize is for blue and one prize is for green.

….and for all finalists that don’t make the 2023 Formula Woman team, a free testing contract will be offered along with some Sparco kit…. Everyone’s a winner!
