Heart of Racings latest all female crew search underway in Arizona
Wednesday, November 29, 2023
Fresh off the back of this week’s earlier confirmation that they have been allocated a place into Season 12 of the FIA World Endurance Championship with one of Aston Martin Racing’s latest Vantage GT3 platforms, see the team testing some more young ladies within their Aston Martin Racing’s Vantage GT4 cars after what was an incredible racing experiment this season.
Last year saw drivers Hannah Grisham and Rianna O’Meara-Hunt get selected from a larger sample group as the team’s first all-female crew who went on to race within SRO America’s GT4 America Series for the first time.
Competing alongside the more experienced Pro-Am driver line up of Gray Newell and Ian James/Roman De Angelis within the teams sister car, saw the two ladies suffer some ‘character building’ difficulties and on track situations only to come back to round off a busy season with two class race wins at the final round of the season at Indianapolis in October.
This week sees the team undertake a similar driver assessment programme around the private Apex Motor Club Circuit in Arizona but this testing a much smaller contingent of just four potential drivers.
All American this time around, sees karting racers Hannah Greenameier and Annie Rhule pair up with US Mazda MX5 and Legends racers Loni Unser and Heather Hadley take to the track under the watchful eyes of many of the teams professional race drivers. Rhule was noted as for one to watch last year and she is back again this year for another go at the ultimate prize on offer.
