Girls on Track again opens the door to the world of motorsport for youngsters in Brazil

For the third time this season, young girls and women at the circuit were given an impression of what it takes to work in motorsport. As official Presenting Partner of the FIA initiative Girls on Tracks, Hankook was present at multiple locations to present the different areas of motorsport in an entertaining way. Special guest was Fabiana Ecclestone, Vice President Sport in the International Automobile Federation FIA. The wife of former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone gave a talk to the girls, during which she offered insights into the world of motorsport. Roughly 400 participants took advantage of the offering in São Paulo. It was also possible to take part online. The final round of the initiative in Season 9 will be at the double-header in Jakarta, Indonesia.
