The CIK-FIA & Women in Motorsport Commission search for a young Karter

The FIA Women in Motorsport Commission and the CIK-FIA have renewed their association for a second season with the objective of rewarding an up and coming young female kart Driver with a funded drive in the 2012 CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, a low-cost educational formula.

Working in association with the National Sporting Authorities around the globe, 11 young kart racers born between 1997 and 1999 have been selected to take part in a shoot-out in Italy on 2 June. The selection process will incorporate a mix of theory, presentation and driving activities and the Driver deemed to have demonstrated the greatest potential will receive a free entry to the 2012 CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, along with a kart from the official supplier and free overalls (the prize excludes testing tyres, fuel, service team and damage to the equipment).

The Drivers selected to compete in the evaluation process are:

Torey Blanch, Australia
Mélissa Calvi, Luxembourg
Nicole Coffey, Ireland
Jeanne Fantini, Madagascar
Olivia Natalie K?hne, Portugal
Adeline Prudent, France
Carrie Schreiner, Germany
Lina Von Schedvin, Sweden
Gabrielle Alice Weyer, Great Britain
Kamilla Willum, Denmark
Gabriella Yu Ting Teo, Singapore

The 2012 CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy takes place over three races, in addition to the official pre-season test session. And, this season, race weekends will also address highly-important issues relating to safety, driving conduct and the anti-doping code.
