Women in Racing Scholarship

We want to improve access for under-represented drivers finding their way through the motorsports ladder in Canada and ultimately to professional racing.
About Nicole
Nicole Havrda is a 17-year-old Canadian racer that is turning heads for her fast and smart racing style.
She has been racing since she has been 10 years old, before that she was a competitive downhill ski racer and a swimmer for 6 years.
Her goal is to work her way up to become a professional race car driver racing at the highest level possible.
Nicole has been an athlete all her life. She was a competitive alpine ski racer as well as a competitive swimmer until the auto racing bug bit her.
She joined the West Coast Kart Club, located outside Vancouver, BC, in 2018, and completed a few successful test sessions. She started competing in 2019 in Rotax Junior and proceeded to achieve multiple podium finishes and, ultimately, take Rookie of the Year honours. In 2020, she continued her development in Rotax Junior, and saw success with multiple top 10 finishes while competing at events across North America.
2021 was another successful kart season as well as making the transition to cars. She proved her talent and potential with successful test sessions in an F4 car, as well as a successful test session in a GT4 car. Her season culminated with her first car race – an endurance race in a Mercedes-AMG GT4.
2022 has seen great development in all aspects of her career. She tested with W Series in January and then commenced an intensive US testing program in a Ligier JS F3. She followed that up with multiple races in the Western US and has seen top five finishes and two race wins.
Later in the season, she completed a test in an Aston Martin GT4 with The Heart Of Racing. Nicole was chosen out of more than 100 other female drivers to do the test. For the end of the 2022 racing season Nicole was invited to compete in the Indian Racing League, which consist of 5 race weekends on two different tracks, one of them being a street circuit. She left the drivers championship in P11 and got two top 5 finishes, out of some very experienced racers from across the world.
She has conducted multiple media appearances with national television and other media formats, with a highlight including a televised interview with Lewis Hamilton at the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix.
She is well-focused and balances her physical and mental training and in-car training with her studies, as she completes her secondary schooling through distance learning. She has the right attitude and work ethic, and also has the right support structure to enable her success. Her ultimate goal is to work her way to the top of the single-seater racing ladder and is prepared to put in the work to make that happen.

How is the money going to be used?
