Imogen Radburn

Competitor

ARDC Women & Wheels ambassador

As Imogen works towards her goal of becoming a global race car driver, she has earned a reputation for her aggressive, determined driving style and her unwavering “never say die” attitude. Her commitment to the sport is unmatched - training relentlessly both on and off the track to sharpen her physical conditioning and mental resilience, laying the groundwork for a successful international career in motorsport.

Fiercely competitive behind the wheel, Imogen is equally genuine and approachable off the track, building strong friendships with fellow drivers. She prides herself on being more than just an athlete, she is a role model and mentor to young women aspiring to break into motorsport.

A strong believer in the idea that “Be the first, so others know they can follow.” Imogen is dedicated to being a visible and positive influence for the next generation. She actively promotes female participation in motorsport and works hard to ensure that young girls see the sport as a place where they too can belong and thrive.
