Nine Candidates Named in Heart of Racing’s Female Shootout

The Heart of Racing has confirmed nine drivers that will compete in its Female Racer Shootout, with the front-running candidate set to earn a spot in the team’s GT4 program next year.

With nearly 70 applications, The Heart of Racing team narrowed it down to nine racers with a range of racing backgrounds from across the globe.

Selectees include Sara Misir, Rianna O’Meara-Hunt, Chelsea Herbert, Chloe Chambers, Annie Rhule, Nicole Havrda, Hannah Grisham, Jem Hepworth and Jessica Bäckman.

All nine female candidates will head to Apex Motor Club, just outside of Phoenix, in a bid for the race seat next week, with the two-day shootout running on Monday and Tuesday.

The Heart of Racing drivers Roman De Angelis, Alex Riberas, Ian James as well as Paul Charsley and Ashton Harrison will be on hand to work with each of the candidates on and off the track.

There will be extensive track time for the drivers over the two days, including practice, qualifying and race simulations.

The drivers will be considered for both their capabilities and potential behind the wheel as well as their aptitude and attitude out of the car.
