Club Formula Woman is a unique concept in motor sport. Women are given the opportunity to get involved in motor sport and improve their driving skills. The environment is entirely female which takes away the pressure of competing in a normally male dominated environment.
62 members of Formula Woman recently took part in the biggest female only race, in an attempt to break the world record for the largest amount of females in a single motor sport event. The event, which took place in Pembrey, South Wales, attracted around 4000 applicants which had to be whittled down to 100 people who then entered the Pembrey knockouts.
The race was designed to separate the women from the girls as well as setting a new world record. Channel 4 is soon to show a documentary on the race and reports on four competitors from different backgrounds.
Women who become members of Formula Woman are in a unique position to be able to improve their driving skills. They are taught by professionals in high performance cars and gain a new found confidence in their driving abilities.
Other advanced driving courses are available. Advanced driver training usually takes place in one day and allows the participant to develop in areas in such as motorway driving and driving in hazardous conditions. Another advantage to taking part in an advanced driving course is the opportunity to lower your car insurance premiums. If you can demonstrate your advanced ability behind the wheel then you can save yourself a packet.
