FIA Girls on Track Day - Charlotte 4M
On the 1st of April, I was chosen to attend the ‘FIA Girls on Track Day’ at the Australian Rally Championships. The day is for girls aged 8-14 who are interested in motorsport and uses STEM activities for learning through engineering.
Some of the activities I did on the day were:
- A Pit stop activity- I used a ratchet gun and a jack to change a tyre. It was timed, it took me 5.9 seconds.
- A media activity- We practiced interviewing race car drivers
- A fitness challenge- I rolled a tyre around a course that was made up of cones, I competed against a race driver and I won
- We used a race car simulator where I got to race around a track
- I learnt about solar powered cars
We got to look at some of the rally cars, I had such a great time, and my favourite part was changing the tyre.
