Formula One’s F1 Women’s Academy will hold seven Grands Prix next season with races on three continents starting in Saudi Arabia and ending in Abu Dhabi, the organizer has announced.
The season starts in Jeddah on March 7 and ends in Yas Marina on December 8.
Other races are in Miami, Barcelona, Zandvoort (Netherlands), Singapore and Qatar.
“This global platform, combined with the support of all 10 F1 teams, will take the series to the next level,” said Formula One CEO, Stefano Domenicali, it is a statement.
All Formula One teams agreed in July to each nominate a driver and have their colors in an Academy car from 2024. The series uses Tatuus F4 cars with 1.4- liter engine and a top speed of 240 km / h.
“This calendar reinforces our ambition to become a truly global series, expanding our reach and improving the visibility of our mission,” said the F1 Academy boss Susie Wolff.
“We want to inspire girls and young women around the world and show them that there is a place for them in our sport, and racing alongside F1 will help us achieve this.”
The last woman to start a Formula One grand prix was the deceased Italian Lella Lombardi, in 1976.
