What happens when women from across motorsport gather in one place?
You get rally cars and ride-alongs, workshops and honest conversations, shared knowledge, new friendships and a room full of people making this industry feel more accessible simply by showing others what is possible.
This was my third DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit, but my first experiencing it from this side of the story.
I had the opportunity to be part of the livestream, interview people from across the industry and help share the careers, stories and experiences that make motorsport so much bigger than what happens on track.
Seeing myself on the broadcast with my name on screen and the event’s sponsors surrounding it was a completely surreal moment. But the moments I keep thinking about happened between the scheduled ones: the introductions that became real conversations, the questions people were brave enough to ask and the ideas that continued long after the cameras stopped rolling.
One of my favourite interviews was with a little girl who confidently picked up a DirtFish microphone and told me exactly why she was there (and has been for the previous 3+ years)! That moment captured what this Summit can do: make motorsport feel tangible, approachable and worth imagining yourself inside.
My biggest takeaway from the weekend is that access changes things.
Sometimes seeing someone in a role helps you imagine yourself there. Sometimes one conversation gives you the confidence to ask a question or take the next step. Sometimes walking into a room where you know almost no one becomes the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
I know that because this Summit did that for me.
Thank you to the entire DirtFish Women in Motorsport team, the partners who made the weekend possible and every person who shared their knowledge, their story or simply made space for someone new.
There is so much more from this weekend that I can’t wait to share. 🏁
If you attended, what are you taking away from the Summit? If you followed along online, what part of motorsport would you like to learn more about?
