Defying the odds in the high-speed world of professional sports car racing 💪🚀

Get to know Aurora Straus, an incredible American talent who spent her college years trading paint on the racetrack while completing a demanding double degree in Mechanical Engineering and English Literature at Harvard! 🏁

Taking her place on the grid at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the No. 24 Murillo Racing Mercedes-AMG GT4, Aurora is tackling the gruelling, multi-class IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge this weekend 🏎‍🟀

Racing in an industry where fewer than 4% of professional drivers are female, she cemented her position at the top through relentless dedication and skill. She is actively changing the sport by founding the nonprofit Girls With Drive to mentor young women in STEM and motorsports 🤩

In 2016, Susie Wolff launched the Dare to be Different programme to increase women’s participation not only on track but in all aspects of the sport.

In 2019, the FIA - Women in Motorsport Commission, Susie Wolff, and Dare to be Different joined forces to pilot an exciting new educational programme for girls aged 8 to 18, which the FIA later adopted as FIA Girls on Track.

Around the world, FIA Girls on Track works with national motorsport governing bodies, racing series and different initiatives to encourage women’s participation.

One of the most notable programmes is ABB Formula E’s FIA Girls on Track programme, which invites girls aged 12 to 18 to explore motorsport through hands-on activities, workshops, and behind-the-scenes access at every Formula E race, with over 6,000 participants globally so far.

The programme aims to inspire and empower the next generation of motorsport talent.

“This is what women in sport look like.”

We stand with all the women competing, working behind the scenes, and fighting for a better future. The women who put their blood, sweat and tears into building a career in a male-dominated industry. Women do not train, study, and give their everything just to be objectified and reduced to something to look at.

Maybe it was calculated. Maybe it was a mistake that made it off the drawing board.

One things for sure: Novig’s ad does not reflect the reality of women in sport - or anywhere - and we are horrified by the wider implications.

To all the women in sport speaking up: we see you, we hear you, and we are with you. To all the people just as outraged as we are: don’t stop encouraging the incredible women around you.

Women do not exist for the male gaze.

What if the most important part of an ABB Formula E test happens after the chequered flag? 🏁

In October 2025, 14 women took part in the second Women’s Test at Valencia in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Six hours of running. One chance to show what they could do. But for some, the opportunity continued beyond that day.

Abbi Pulling finished second in 1:22.831, just 0.064s off the fastest time. Her earlier Women’s Test opportunity had already helped lead to a Rookie & Simulator Driver role with Nissan. In 2026, she added more Formula E mileage in Miami and Madrid.

Bianca Bustamante finished third in 1:23.537 and progressed into an official Development Driver role with CUPRA KIRO, before returning for the Madrid Rookie Test.

Chloe Chambers topped the test with a 1:22.767 for Mahindra Racing. She later returned for Miami Rookie Free Practice.

Ella Lloyd continued building experience with another GEN3 Evo opportunity at the Madrid Rookie Test, her fourth.

Nerea Martí followed a different path. Her Women’s Test participation helped develop her relationship with Andretti, leading to a Team Ambassador role alongside simulator work.

Five different journeys.
One common thread: the opportunity kept moving.

ABB FIA Formula E says its two Women’s Tests have given 21 women the chance to drive the GEN3 Evo, with six securing rookie or official development roles and four moving into permanent team positions.

That’s progress. But there’s still a bigger milestone ahead.
A test gives you a chance. A development role gives you a pathway✨

Social media has become an essential part of how we experience motorsport today. And behind all of that content is a team that makes it happen 💜

From planning what to post to creating content and keeping an eye on how fans respond, there’s a lot that goes into running a motorsport team’s social media.

Social media managers and executives are the people involved in planning content, writing copy, creating posts, managing the community and looking at analytics. During race weekends, there is content to capture in the paddock, driver content to organise, live updates to put out and plenty of moments that need quick reactions.

A good social media executive needs creativity, platform knowledge, strong communication skills and sound judgement to know when a moment is worth jumping on. But it’s not all about creating content, they also need to understand the analytics behind an account. Turning those insights into better content and stronger engagement is also a vital part of their role 👩‍💻

There isn't one set path into these jobs, either. A background in communications, journalism, linguistics, psychology, and countless other subjects can lead you there.

So the next time you see a post from your favourite team, remember there’s usually a whole lot happening behind it!

Meet Sydney Prince, lead race engineer on the No. 42 Toyota at Legacy Motor Club, making her mark in the NASCAR Cup Series 🏁🔧

Growing up racing micro sprints and sprint cars with her family team, she ran the No. 14 and picked up the nickname “Smoke Jr.” as she was a Tony Stewart fan.

Four years ago she was an intern. She graduated from UNC Charlotte in 2022, engineered Rajah Caruth’s truck in 2023, joined Jimmie Johnson’s Cup team in 2024, and by 2025 she was calling the shots as lead engineer on John Hunter Nemechek’s car.

At the 2025 Daytona 500, she was one of only two women on a Cup pit box as an engineer. At Texas and Dover, she was the only one in the entire field that season.

Sydney is a reminder that there’s more than one way to make your mark as a woman in motorsport 💪

🏁 Half a point. A place in history.

In 1975, Lella Lombardi made F1 history at the Spanish Grand Prix!

When the race was stopped early, Lombardi was running in a points-scoring position. As the race had only reached half distance, she was awarded half a championship point.

That made her the first woman to score points in a Formula 1 World Championship race - a record that still stands today!

Over 50 years later, Lella Lombardi remains one of the most important women in motorsport history 🏎️
