Formula Woman Newsletter - 12th August
INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS
If you live out of Europe, you will soon be receiving a personal email from Formula Woman explaining what to do next and where and when you will complete your assessment in your own country. As you can imagine this is quite a logistical exercise, but for Formula Woman to have so many countries involved is amazing.
The scoring system we are putting in place will be loaded up towards your natural driving ability and there will only be a total of 50, possibly a few more, from Europe and overseas that will make it to the next round. If you are one of the lucky ones to make it you need to be prepared to travel to Europe which is where the final ‘shoot out ‘ will take place early next year.
The personal email you will receive will include a questionnaire which we need you to complete and send back to us please.
Remember, you are now a Formula Woman and even those who don’t get through will be given continued support and guidance from The FormulaWoman Team.
If you don’t receive your personalized email by the 20th August please contact Johanna@f1.co.uk.
TRACK DAYS
We have a list of women from the UK and Europe who would like to undertake one of our pre-assessment track days with one of our Project 8 Jaguars. Last week we did a trial run at Cadwell Park with two TV presenters, one who would be a green badge entry and the other a blue. In both cases the Jaguar proved to be too much too soon and the wet conditions didn’t help!
As a result we have acquired two suitable track cars to allow competitors to build up to the Jaguar performance on the same day. This will allow more track time in three different cars and more one to one instruction, which will be more beneficial than jumping in to one of the 650hp Project 8 ‘s, which is not the easiest car to drive especially when wet!
We will have a list of available dates, but those who have assessments on the 19th or 20th September at Anglesey will have priority.
ANGLESEY TRACK DAYS – 19TH AND 20TH SEPTEMBER
For those booked on the Anglesey assessments, there is an opportunity for you or your partners, friends or family, to bring your own cars to take out on track before or after taking your assessment course. This will be through Javelin Track Days who will be operating on the same two days. There will also be one or two cars available for those who want to have some fast lap passenger rides too!
This only applies to Anglesey assessment days not Knockhill or Bedford.
Anyone interested in taking advantage of this and would like further details should contact sam@f1.co.uk
MEDIA
The media attention around Formula Woman has been fantastic and many of you have generated your own media coverage to attract your own personal sponsors. As you all know the assessments are being televised and each test carries points based on your driving ability and other areas required to be a successful racing driver.
Media is an important factor so what we have decided to do is encourage you all to generate some media for yourself around your Formula Woman journey. It’s good for you and it’s good for us, especially as we are building a global brand.
So between now and your assessment, use our images, our logo and your story to see what you can generate. One of the simple tests at each assessment is a media test and you will be asked if you have managed to create a following from traditional media as well as social media.
We did this back in the old Formula Woman days to good effect and it’s easy to generate publicity for yourself locally and regionally and of course through Social Media. Sponsors love media coverage so see what you can do ladies!
Assistance on media exposure is available from Edward@f1.co.uk
