Women in Motorsport

PRESENTATION

The Women In Motorsport Commission was created in 2009 in order to:

Demonstrate that women are recognised by the highest body responsible for motor sport.
Show that motorsport is open to women in all of its aspects, whether as competitors, officials, team managers, engineers, mechanics, etc.
Promote the place of women in motorsport through media, international events, partners and stakeholders.
Develop social and educational programmes, in order to encourage greater participation of women in motorsport.
Make young women (drivers, officials, professionals, customers) aware of road safety issues.

Since its creation in 2009, the Women In Motorsport Commission has been presided by Michèle Mouton.

There are already a number of highly successful women working in our sport, but we also need to invest in the future and encourage the younger generation to view it as a world of equal opportunities

WOMEN IN MOTORSPORT AROUND THE GLOBE

The Women In Motorsport Commission has more than 70 national representatives in the world appointed by their National Sporting Authorities.

Their mission is to help implementing the WIMC initiatives in their respective countries in order to create a motorsport culture that facilitates and values the full participation of women in all aspects of motorsport. A toolkit has been developed for that purpose.
