Girls on Track at Lotus Cars
Motorsport UK’ s Girls on Track UK programme introduced over 150 girls to motorsport and STEM career opportunities during a two-day event at Lotus Cars’ UK Headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk last month.
During the event, colleagues from Lotus were able to share their experiences working from within a range of areas across the manufacturer, showcasing the opportunities available to women and all genders within the sport.
“ one of which is its role in increasing female participation within the sport and in the wider motorsports industry.”
Jenny Fletcher, Girls on Track UK Manager, added,“ Thanks to the support of Lotus Cars we were able to introduce STEM careers to even more girls across the UK. Our events are designed to boost participation and inspire women to explore a career in motorsport – which we hope will shift the gender parity needle.”
The Girls on Track UK programme aims is to challenge current stigmas around motorsport and introduce girls to career opportunities that they may not previously have considered, in areas such as mechanics or media and PR, while not exclusively focusing on Formula 1.
Girls on Track UK has also announced new 2025 partner – Safety Rocks – which hosted a Risk Rangers activity, during which girls identified a range of hazards around a crashed car on a workshop ramp.
“ There are many reasons why Girls on Track is a fit for us,” noted Carla Crocombe, Founder and Managing Director of Safety Rocks,
Girls on Track UK is an initiative to inspire girls and women into seeing and believing that there is a rightful and valuable place for them in the motorsport industry. This is done through events for girls, a community networking group, and the opportunity to meet successful women in the motorsport industry through inspirational virtual events.
