When I first entered the industry, the environment was challenging in more ways than one. The concept of motorsport travel itself was almost unheard of. In those early days, discussions around racing were dominated by male voices, and the idea that women could play a significant role—whether in the paddock, in the boardroom, or even as avid fans traveling to the track—was largely dismissed. It was a time of bold dreams and steep learning curves.

Back then, motorsport had a raw, unfiltered energy—fewer rules, fewer restrictions, and a real sense of unpredictability. Travel wasn’t easy, especially in an industry where women were rarely seen beyond the grandstands. Without the internet, information was harder to come by; race schedules were printed in pamphlets, and any last-minute changes were spread through radio updates or word of mouth. If you missed a transfer, there was no Uber to save the day—you either made it on time or found your own way to the circuit. At the track, there were no giant screens—just the roar of engines and the scramble to catch glimpses through binoculars. Even the paddock had a different culture. In Monaco, team members would head straight to the bars in their uniforms, blending into the nightlife after a long day. It was a time when motorsport was wilder, less polished, and far from inclusive—but change was coming!

Behind every successful campaign, every race weekend, and every piece of content we’ve shared, there’s a story of determination and collaboration. Our team grew, and so did the industry, evolving into a billion-dollar sector that now embraces the contributions of women in ways that were once unimaginable.

As we celebrate 20 years of motorsport travel, International Women’s Day offers a moment to reflect,  it’s clear that progress has been made, yet one area remains ripe for change: the track! It’s high time we see more women behind the wheel, pushing limits and setting new records.

Silverstone often sells out fast. To ensure you get the best viewing spot, book your tickets well ahead of time. My preferred locations on the track were Hamilton B, Luffield, Woodcote, and Abbey B. These Grandstands offered fantastic views of the cars and overtakes on the track.  

British weather, a master of disguise, can switch from glorious sunshine to a downpour in the blink of an eye. Even the weather predictions will fail. Pack layers – a waterproof jacket, sunscreen, and maybe even a travel umbrella (don’t let a sprinkle dampen your spirits).  

There’s a lot of walking between stands and grandstands. Ditch the fancy footwear and prioritise comfy shoes you can walk in all day. And I cannot insist on it enough but DO NOT WEAR WHITE SHOES! 

There were supporters from all over the world at the British Grand Prix. Embrace the vibrant team atmosphere! Don your favorite team’s merchandise and get ready to cheer. The energy is contagious, and trust me, you’ll want to be part of the collective roar when your favourite driver clinches a victory. 

5. Plan Your Transport 

Traffic can be a major hassle, so it’s important to plan your journey in advance. Unfortunately, Silverstone doesn’t have great public transport links and parking at the circuit is so expensive per day. Instead of trying to scramble for a place and join the endless queues for the Park & Ride buses, Grandstand Motorsports have their dedicated buses heading to and from their hotels all weekend. This way you can enjoy the day, have a few drinks and not worry about driving home or standing in the rain waiting for one of the Park & Ride shuttles.

Celebrating 75 Years

Formula 1 CEO and President Stefano Domenicali commented, “2025 will be a special year as we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship, and it’s that legacy and experience that allows us to deliver such a strong calendar. Once again, we’ll visit 24 incredible venues around the world, delivering top-class racing, hospitality, and entertainment, which will be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide.” The season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix from March 14-16 and concludes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 5-7. The schedule spans five continents, promising a diverse and exciting series of races. With Ramadan falling in March, the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix have been rescheduled for April to accommodate cultural observances.

Summer Break and Geographical Flow

The traditional summer break in August offers three weekends off, separating the Hungarian Grand Prix from the Dutch Grand Prix. Changes made in 2024 for better geographical flow continue in 2025, with Japan following Australia and China in April, European races over the summer, and the Americas in the autumn. The season ends with Qatar and Abu Dhabi back-to-back.

Last Year of Current Regulations

As the final year of the current regulations, the 2025 season promises to be a cracker. Teams and drivers will be pushing the limits to make the most of the established rules, leading to potentially dramatic and unforgettable races.
