FORMULA WOMAN PUTS BRAKES ON 2022
Formula Woman’s boss has promised its prize drives will resume in 2023 after its McLarens didn’t race in last weekend’s Snetterton GT Cup finale or at Donington Park last month.
Graeme Glew, the director of Formula Woman’s operating company, cited to Motorsport News a number of factors behind the withdrawal but promised that its current competition winners will have their prize drives honoured with a full season of racing next year.
It’s been a turbulent year for the two driver pairings – Erika Hoffmann and Jodie Sloss, and Sara Misir and Steph Sore – who were also forced to miss the first two rounds of the year as neither the cars nor they were ready. Hoffmann however insists she and the other drivers remain positive and eagerly await a renewed test programme. “Formula Woman explained the situation and we all understood and agreed that it was the right move for us and them,” Hoffmann said. “Obviously, it’s disappointing [to miss the finale] but it was the right decision. We can now look forward to 2023 and learn from the experiences already gained.”
Formula Woman meanwhile continues to sell places for its next competition and will look to promote its winners to race seats by 2024.
