More than Equal has partnered with AVL RACETECH to launch a joint initiative to develop female drivers by offering best-in-class sim training.
More than Equal is an organisation that aims to seek and nurture female talent in motorsport, often enrolling them in fully funded driver development programmes.
AVL RACETECH is a motorsport-dedicated department in the engineering and mobility company AVL which works within the motorsport industry.
The two organisations have recently announced a partnership to utilise More than Equal’s development drivers and place them in a simulator program.
More than Equal has six young female drivers in their program who will receive exclusive access to AVL’s driving simulators.
The drivers will have the chance to hone their skills on full-motion driving simulators with the guidance of AVL RACETECH engineers.
This opportunity based in Graz, Austria, will also allow the young female drivers to participate in race engineering workshops.
AVL Associated Driver Laura Bubenová has been selected for the program and shared: “I feel honoured to have the opportunity to further develop my skills with professionals from More than Equal and AVL RACETECH.”
There will be two dedicated AVL SIM Camps for More than Equal’s cohort of six 13-14-year-old female drivers across a range of disciplines.
AVL SIM Camps aim to broaden the drivers’ understanding of racing by teaching them more about mechanics, data analysis, and set-up while allowing them to practice their skills in the simulator.
More than Equal CEO Ali Donnelly said: “Supporting our female drivers as they transition from karting to F4 is not just about racing; it’s about empowering them with the tools, technology, and knowledge they need to excel.
“We are excited to partner with AVL RACETECH to offer hands-on engineering insights and personalized simulator training that will help them not only compete but thrive.
“We’re committed to fostering a new generation of talent, where female drivers have the opportunity to reach their full potential on and off the track.”
These SIM Camps will be incorporated into More than Equal’s systematic development program that is supported by AVL.
Hoping to scout and develop Formula 1’s first female champion, More than Equal and AVL RACETECH have supported many female drivers.
