Every year, Formula Woman organises an all-female national competition, designed to attract women into motorsport and to find and develop up-and-coming female racing talent. In addition to managing the race series, Formula Woman also trains women in the wider areas of motorsport – from performance driving and race-craft through to skills such as fitness, diet, sponsorship and media.
In 2007, the championship, supported and managed by Essex-based Hyperion Motorsport, will be the first in the UK to run exclusively on E85 biofuel blend (85% bio-ethanol and 15% petrol) with the conversion of its standard Caterham Roadsport race cars by Minister Racing Engines (www.minister-power.com).
Racing on biofuel is part of Hyperion’s development of the Formula Woman concept, which will address energy efficient and environmental issues surrounding motorsport. They have been working closely with an environmental management consultancy to understand the impact not only of their workshop operations but also their on-track race support. Areas such as waste management, energy efficiency and use of alternative fuels are all being addressed.
