The FIA, a worldwide non-profit that oversees autosports across the globe, has partnered with iRacing and Advanced SimRacing to create the Girls on Track Rising Star (Esports Edition).
Girls on Track Rising Star (Esports Edition) features the FIA Girls on Track Esports Cup. The Esports Cup is a global competition for girls and women who are 16 years old or older. Anyone in that age range can compete from anywhere around the world, regardless of their experience with esports.
The top ten racers will go to Macau to compete live at the 2025 FIA Extraordinary General Assemblies Week over multiple days.
To sign up, racers will need to sign up with the FIA website first. From there, they’ll need to create/activate their iRacing account. Racers may need an iRacing subscription, and the FIA offers subscriptions for new racers. To find out more, check here on the FIA website.
From there, racers will need to go into the iRacing time attack and go for their fastest lap.
FIA Girls on Track was first founded in 2016 by Susie Wolff and was known as the Dare To Be Different initiative. It focused on increasing female presence in the motorsports industry, along with other male-dominated fields.
In 2019, the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission joined the Dare To Be Different initiative to create the Girls on Track program as people know it today.
While this is the first worldwide esports cup the program has put on, it regularly hosts free events around the world to introduce young women to the motorsports industry.
