Formula E has today announced a 140% increase in participants for Season 9’s FIA Girls on Track programme, presented by Hankook, including a 25% increase for the first two events of Season 10, reaffirming its commitment to education and gender inclusivity in motorsport.
Last season Formula E delivered five events at races focused on engaging with girls aged 12 to 18, providing on-site programmes at track including offsite talks in schools and universities. During the immersive one-day experience women from within the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship take the girls through sessions focused on STEM subjects, motorsport, sustainability and media, including the opportunity to put their driving skills to the test on bespoke e-karting tracks or racing simulators.
In December 2023, Formula E also announced that it would be increasing the number of FIA Girls on Track from five events to all races, with an expected number of participants totalling more than 2,500 by the end of the season. Since Formula E began hosting the sessions at races in Season 5, more than 2,000 young girls have benefited from the programme and even made their way into roles within the all-electric championship and wider motorsport sector.
