Careers beyond the cockpit

Motorsport is a much bigger workplace than most people ever see.

The race is what the public sees. It is also the final result of thousands of decisions made long before the green flag and throughout the weekend. By revealing that larger picture, the Anne Roy Initiative helps women recognize motorsport as an industry they can help shape, while helping the industry recognize talent it might otherwise overlook.
