F1 Academy’s “Discover Your Drive” campaign is making big waves in motorsport with its goal of bringing more young women and girls into the racing world, both on and off track. If you’ve ever dreamed of racing under the roar of engines or working behind the scenes in the high-octane environment of Formula 1, this campaign might just be your golden ticket. Here’s how you can get involved and what makes “Discover Your Drive” a game-changer in motorsport.
What is “Discover Your Drive”?
“Discover Your Drive” is a global initiative launched by F1 Academy. It’s designed to encourage and increase female participation in motorsport. The campaign covers everything from grassroots karting programs to professional development workshops, aiming squarely at inspiring girls and young women to consider careers in this thrilling sport. It’s not only about driving on the track but also about opening doors to roles off the track in engineering, media, and more.
Why is it Important?
Women have historically been underrepresented in motorsport, and “Discover Your Drive” is all about changing that narrative. The program targets three key pillars: community engagement, youth involvement, and talent identification. By building awareness and providing opportunities, it strengthens the pipeline of future female talent aiming for the top tiers of racing, including F1 Academy itself, the all-female racing series acting as a feeder to the highest levels.
How to Enter the Campaign
If you think you have what it takes or want to find out more, the entry point is straightforward. Aspiring female drivers or those interested in motorsport careers need to prepare a racing CV, basically, a summary of their racing history and achievements. Then, send your CV to the F1 Academy Driver Development team via their official email: development@f1academy.com. If you meet the eligibility criteria, someone from the team will reach out to guide you through the next steps.
For beginners or those new to motorsport, the campaign encourages contacting your local motorsport authority to get started. There are also grassroots events held at karting venues across the UK, known as “Discover Your Drive Karting UK”, where girls can try karting with no prior experience, making motorsport accessible and fun.
“Discover Your Drive” started in the UK but plans to expand globally, aligning with F1 Academy’s growing presence as a support series during Formula 1 race weekends. This means more events, more coaching, and a broader platform for young women around the world to showcase their talent and passion for motorsport.
So, if you’re a girl aged 8 to 18 who’s curious about speed, competition, and the world of motorsport or a young woman hungry to break into racing or its supporting roles, F1 Academy’s “Discover Your Drive” is an unmissable opportunity. Get your CV ready, hit that send button, and who knows? The next star of the grid might just be clicking into your racing seat. This campaign is the push the sport needed, and it’s revving up engines all around the world. So, are you ready to discover your drive?
