Susie Wolff embarked on her competitive motorsport journey over two decades ago, starting like many of her racing peers on the karting track. After gaining valuable experience in karting, Formula Renault, and DTM for Mercedes-Benz, Susie made history at the 2014 British Grand Prix. She became the first woman in 22 years to participate in a Formula 1 race weekend.
In 2015, Susie retired from driving and dedicated herself to promoting positive change in the sport. She launched Dare To Be Different in 2016, to inspire the next generation and increase female involvement in all aspects of motorsport.
Her remarkable efforts were recognized in 2017 when she was awarded an MBE for her services and contributions to women in sports. Utilizing her vast experience, Susie now captivates audiences with her inspiring story of competing in a male-dominated field. She emphasizes that our gender does not define us but rather our passion and character. Her words encourage all who listen to dream big and reach for the stars.
