Formula E has announced an enhanced FIA Girls on Track programme for Season 11 which promises new opportunities for 50 young women.
The electric racing series is introducing new race-day opportunities focused on young women pursuing careers in STEM fields, offering behind-the-scenes access. Last year, Formula E engaged 120 young women in 10 races and collaborated with FIA Girls on Track to support 4,500 women in the sport, providing educational activities during race weekends. A new expanded programme will provide additional opportunities for young women, including support for grassroots initiatives and e-karting activities for enrolled women, as well as school and university students. In Season 11, Formula E aims to have 50 women with exclusive access to the FIA Girls on Track space in the Fan Village, with opportunities for career talks, networking events, a community newsletter, and resource hub. Julia Palle, Vice President of Sustainability at Formula E, emphasized the commitment to offering extensive opportunities for women in the industry, addressing the gender imbalance and providing chances for growth and skill development at all levels of the sport, culminating in an all-women’s test session in Madrid.
