On Friday, February 28, Systems Engineer Lizzie took part in Arrow McLaren’s Women in Sports panel, where women from across the industry spoke on topics like women’s equality in sports, battling male-dominated viewpoints, and empowering and inspiring the next generation of women to pursue careers in sport. Lizzie specifically touched on her experiences around the NTT INDYCAR SERIES paddock, and how she felt seen when she joined Arrow McLaren because, for the first time in her career, her team kit was designed for women, not for men.

Kate is a trailblazer in this space and routinely pays it forward, especially at the track, where she’s always willing to speak to groups of young women about her path into racing.
