Student News

Zoe Halliday attended an event called Girls on Track at Sydney Motorsport Park. This was an initiative to promote STEAM subjects for girls and to promote girls’ involvement in motorsports. https://motorsport.org.au/events/girlsontrack.

“On Friday 27 May, I headed up to Eastern Creek for the Girls on Track program hosted by FIA and there were so many cool people there. It was honestly an amazing experience because I got to meet not only drivers which you usually see but people from behind the scenes of motorsports such as mechanics, engineers, media, and marketing teams. I had been karting the previous Thursday near the place that Girls on Track happened (Sydney Motorsport Park). It was a super fun and interesting to hear about her experiences in karting from a whole group of young females so far. I also thought that it was pretty cool that I got to meet Molly Taylor, an amazing Australian rally driver, who was so nice and friendly to talk to. While we were there we were taken on a tour of one of the 5000 garages and the formula cars.

I got into motorsport quite a while ago and it’s something that I really enjoy. I mainly follow Formula 1, and sometimes the supercars and Moto GP. I was actually lucky enough to recently attend the Australian Grand Prix with my Dad where we watched Formula 1 in person, and we got to meet some drivers and people behind the scenes, watching the race from the Red Bull Ampol Garage for the Supercars race. We got to meet Jess Dane there, the person who got us into Girls on Track, who is a co-owner and works in commercial operations. It was overall such a great opportunity to hear from all the different perspectives, for example all the people behind the scenes of sport, those who develop the cars we get to see racing on track, and people working in all other parts of the business to the driver we get to see hop in the car and get the points for the team. I think it was really helpful and so much fun and I’m so grateful for the experience!”
