DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit

DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit
Sat May 24th 10:00am – 6:00pm

LeMay – America’s Car Museum, 2702 E D St, Tacoma
DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit

To be held at LeMay – America’s Car Museum in Tacoma, WA on Saturday May 24th general admission tickets are priced at $50 and limited to 250. Additional top table tickets are available. Click here to buy.
Now in its fourth year, the DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit is one of America’s fastest-growing events – hence the need to move out of DirtFish Rally School in Snoqualmie to LeMay – America’s Car Museum.
One of Formula 1’s highest profile women – Claire Williams OBE – will join this year’s Summit as guest speaker. As deputy team principal, Claire guided Williams Racing to third place in the Formula 1 standings in successive seasons. Alongside that sporting prowess, she developed the British-based team into one of the most diverse on the grid.
Williams said: “Events like the DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit go a long way to open the playing field up to women and show them that motorsport is for everyone.
“I couldn’t be more excited to join the event to talk about my experiences in Formula 1, but also to learn more about the world of rallying and the inspiring women participating in it.
“We all know the value a diverse workforce delivers; pushing hard here is critical. However, and perhaps even more importantly, creating a motorsport world that welcomes and supports women in their careers is just the right thing to do because everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue their dream and to fulfil it in a positive environment.”

DirtFish Women in Motorsport co-ordinator Josie Rimmer added: “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. We’ve had so many enquiries from people asking when they can buy their tickets and the answer is, right now!
“Announcing Claire as our guest speaker was an unbelievably proud moment. To have a woman of her calibre joining us is a measure of how quickly the Summit has grown and that’s something everybody at DirtFish can be incredibly proud of.
“Holding the event at LeMay – America’s Car Museum is a real honor and, trust me, Saturday May 24th is going to be one special day.”
DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit tickets can be purchased here, with the first 100 people buying general admission landing a bonus DirtFish pin pack. All tickets will include full and exclusive access to LeMay – America’s Car Museum on Saturday May 24th.
