At The ARDC, we’re passionate about increasing female participation in motorsport. The Women in Wheels events are just the beginning of a series of exciting initiatives we have planned at Sydney Motorsport Park to inspire and support more women in the sport”
– Natalie Turmine, ARDC President.
Accelerating Women in Motorsport!
Whether you’re a competitor pushing the limits on track, a dedicated member of the race crew, or a passionate spectator, female involvement in motorsport is on the rise. However, women still make up a smaller percentage of participants, and the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC) is committed to changing that!
Our Women & Wheels events are an exclusive women’s motorsport experience designed to introduce women of all ages and backgrounds – especially those who have never considered motorsport before – to the excitement of motor racing.
MAY 2025: The Female Footprint: Survey
We’re keen to hear more about what drives you — your interests, needs, and motivations as women interested in motoring and/or motorsport.
Your feedback helps us create better events and experiences at our track, Sydney Motorsport Park, and initiatives through our Australian Motorsport Innovation Precinct.
Thank you again for your time! – Samantha, Alexandra & Doreen from The ARDC Team at SMSP.
