Ladies Track Day

Ladies

Track Day

Women were in control at Sandown Raceway on 18 October when they took to the track with Porsche horsepower. (Not the equine kind that is most common during the Spring racing season.)

This women-only event was spearheaded by experienced racer Courtney Prince, who's most content when behind the wheel of her Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car in the Michelin Sprint Driver series.

During the day, she was able to impart some of her driving finesse to the 14 women who were very excited to be able to learn more about their Porsches and take them through the 13 corners gracing the 3.1km circuit, located in Melbourne’s outer east.

After a welcome breakfast, the women had the first of two, two-hour sessions on the track broken up by a lunch during which Courtney spoke about her impressive podium finishes and her absolute love for racing and Porsches.

It will be interesting to find out if Courtney was able to inspire any of the 14 women to take up motor racing as either a hobby or a career. They certainly now have both the right cars and the right training to get started. •
