Know all about the FIA Girls on Track program at Tokyo E-Prix

The Tokyo E-Prix is just around the corner, and it presents yet another opportunity to boost the participation of women in motorsport . Formula E has implemented the FIA Girls on Track program, which aims to raise the percentage of female involvement by inviting young women aged 12 to 18 to explore, free of charge, various facets of motorsport and its industry through a series of activities, workshops, and behind-the-scenes access. Currently, only 1.5 percent of all license holders globally are women.

What is the FIA Girls on Track program?FIA Girls on Track will welcome up to 120 young women during the Tokyo E-Prix race week. The participants will engage in workshops, gaming sessions, career talks, and a Pit Lane walk throughout the event, fostering empowerment and education in motorsport and engineering. The program maintains its emphasis on STEM education and gender inclusivity in motorsport, actively reaching out to girls from diverse backgrounds in each host city.

In addition to on-site programming, off-site activities will include an immersive E-Karting masterclass, also open to up to 120 young women. This initiative is designed to offer hands-on experience and exposure to E-Karting, aligning with Formula E’s broader social impact mission of involving and engaging local communities at every race location.

Japanese-American racing driver and content creator Hana Burton, along with active rally driver Maaya Orido—who competes in the XCR Sprint Cup Hokkaido and Rally Hokkaido—will also be present at the event. The FIA Girls on Track program is proudly supported by Hankook (Presenting Partner), ABB (Principal Partner), and Fortescue Zero (Official Partner).
