WTCR joins FIA and FIM in celebrating International Women’s Day

FIA and FIM will carry out other actions together during the year to further demonstrate that women have their place in motorsport and create opportunities for them in all activities.

FIA Women in Motorsport Commission President Deborah Mayer said: “Both FIA and FIM have an important role to play in leading motorsports into a new era of further inclusivity.
