How a former F1 engineer aims to make motorsport a more diverse world
Since leaving Formula 1, I have focused on increasing diversity in motorsport, realizing the need for genuine and impactful change. However, we are far from doing enough to promote inclusivity in the sport. Broadening participation in motorsport must be ingrained in the fabric and culture of the industry, similar to environmental sustainability practices. As the founder of the Global Karting League, I aim to democratize motorsport by reducing financial barriers. To address under-representation, especially among different communities, a multifaceted approach is necessary, ensuring all feel welcome and safe in the motorsport community. Our efforts are making a difference, with initiatives like GKL:UK 2024 showing increased female participation, but there is still much work to be done to increase diversity and create a more equal playing field in motorsport.
