Alicia Barrett, 18, from Southwell, travels to Sweden for the final Formula Woman assessment
An 18-year-old from Southwell has reached the last ten in a global competition hoping to find a future female motor racing champion.
Alicia Barrett has reached the last ten of Formula Woman, which will see female drivers go head-to-head for a sponsored McLaren seat in the UK’s GT Cup Championship 2022.
Barrett was one of 800 applicants from 28 countries.
After reaching the last 50, she impressed the judges with her pace on the PF International Kart Circuit near Grantham last week to confirm a sport among the last 15 competitors, before the shortlist was reduced to just ten drivers.
Yesterday (Wednesday 9 March) Barrett traveled to Sweden for the last part of the competition.
With four places to win, the winners of the competition will be announced on Friday after the test sessions today.
