Formula Woman Newsletter - 20th May, 2021

Hope you have all had a good week? Applications are still coming in, which is great to see as we spread the word about Formula Woman.

You will pleased to read a bit more about our assessment days and when and where they are. Good news for the Scottish applicants, as they will be able to come to Knockhill which will help with any travel plans.

Formula Woman 2003

In 2003, founder of Formula Woman Graeme Glew and chief instructor Tim Harvey, spent three days with 50 women from around the UK to find 16 racing drivers.

Natasha Firman (in the middle) went on to become the very first Formula Woman Champion. Many of the others continued racing or went in to other areas of motorsport.

Each recipient of this newsletter is now a Formula Woman and you will soon be competing for one of the most amazing prize drives in motorsport.

Forthcoming Events

SupercarFest Runway is on 30th May which is now sold out, but for those who managed to obtain the Formula Woman discounted tickets we are looking forward to meeting you.

British GP Formula Woman hospitality Friday 16th July is nearly sold out so if you are thinking of attending be quick! It’s just been announced that F1 will be qualifying early evening on The Friday for the F1 sprint race, so should be an exciting event. Contact mark@f1.co.uk for details or to book the last few places.

There are a couple more events coming up for UK applicants – iZone simulator day in June at Silverstone and a couple of karting opportunities with a new soon to be announced partner.

Assessments

We are all thinking positively about being able to commence our assessment days.

The first two days in September will proceed on the 19th (Sunday) and 20th (Monday) and next week we will reveal the venue.

Scottish and Border applicants will have to wait for your assessment date, which should also be announced very soon. But the great news is, it will take place at Knockhill Race Circuit.

Should pandemic restrictions prevent us from running the assessments we will simply move the dates back accordingly.

Social Media

We are now on most social media platforms and we would like to thank all applicants that have been posting and reposting on your own social media. Some of the images and messages you have posted are fun and entertaining, please keep up the good work.

Here are a couple of hashtags we would like you to use. #formulawomanracing #formulawoman #FW2021.
