Formula Woman Newsletter - 30th April, 2021

Welcome to this week's newsletter and hello to the new applicants! Again the Formula Woman team has had a busy week, there is so much happening at the moment, it’s really exciting.

Online Tutorial

Yesterday, Formula Woman started filming for the online tutorial at the iZone Performance Centre at Silverstone, which is being produced by InGear Media and is expected to be available mid May. TV presenter Nikki Dean is our ‘resident applicant’ and will be following all the Formula Woman competitors right through to the GT Cup Championship in 2022.

Personal Sponsors

Some of you are still unsure on the sponsorship guidelines, so please be aware that any sponsors you acquire, are your own and can be used for access fees, merchandise, track days and specific Formula Woman events, such as the forthcoming SupercarFest Runway on May 30th at Sywell in Northamptonshire. The £99 access fee covers the competition and is a one off fee.

Ability Levels

Some of you have been asking whether you are eligible to enter Formula Woman. So, to clarify the situation, the competition is open to women of all ages and walks of life, who have little or no experience. Those who have had some experience will be entered under our Blue Badge category and those who have no experience will be Green Badge. It is up to the Formula Woman organisers as to whether an applicant is eligible or not and a few applicants have been refused due to too much experience. The competition is all about those who demonstrate natural ability at the assessment days.

Social Media

We are delighted that some of you have gone out of your way to generate media for yourselves and Formula Woman, we encourage you all to do so. Those who have achieved coverage should bring proof of this to their assessment day, as we have a few surprises in store for you. We do have some social media guidelines for those of you who are well in to your social media activities. Those of you who have done your piece to camera please send it in to Ed and let us know if you DON’T want us to use this as we are planning to add them all on to our website very soon.

Formula Woman Events

Lex at Formula Woman is getting a few track day opportunities organized, so if you haven’t already let her know if you are interested. We are also planning a few days for Formula Woman at iZone where you can spend some time on their simulators.
