Endurance racer Rianna O’Meara Hunt spoke exclusively with Motorsport Week about her dreams of racing Le Mans.
Rianna O’Meara Hunt, a young driver from New Zealand, recently joined the Aston Martin Driver Academy after starting her motorsport journey at four years old through karting introduced by her father in Wellington. Her aspiration is to excel in endurance racing, aiming to be the first woman and the first female Kiwi to win at Le Mans, recognizing the limited opportunities for progression in New Zealand’s motorsport industry. Having won two rounds of the SRO GT4 Championship in America and further securing a spot in the Aston Martin Driver Academy through the Worldwide GT4 driver search, Hunt’s success led her to relocate to the UK. The move was a strategic step in her five-year plan to eventually participate in ELMS or WEC, become a factory driver, and compete in IMSA as she continues to work towards her racing goals with the support of her family and a dedicated sports psychologist. Hunt’s relentless determination and clear vision guide her through the challenges of pursuing a career in professional racing, underlining her commitment to achieving success on an international level.
