The world has evolved, boys are the only ones left to play with cars anymore. Now little girls can grow with hopes of becoming women in racing. Back in the day, there were many laws against this, but today females team as Megan Meyer racing can now compete against men. Still, there are not many females who are in the sport. Fortunately, there are organizations that are supporting and encouraging females who want this kind of career.

There are some challenges you will have to go through because you are female. Where you come from will factor in on how you are seen by your fellow challenges. Does your family have a background in driving? Are you following in a family members footsteps? All these could make the public think its not your choice, that perhaps you got into it because it was easy for you.

Another really important factor is who you personally look up to. People want to know who inspires you, who keeps you going. Could it be another athlete in the same sport or someone else you consider to be great? In truth, everyone has a person that they look up to. The person who they think is inspirational and would like to be like them. Just like future drivers would be looking up to you and trying to be like you.

Racers need to be sponsored in order to drive effectively. You need a team to carry you out into the next season. It is also about finding the right team to jell with you. You have to really drive well in order to get sponsors attention, seeing you out there doing well will get you the best stuff. Finding the right one is a lot of work though. You will be in tons of meetings and phone calls to secure your team.

You will need to prepare ahead of time for your competitions. There will be information given to you that you have to study. This is no different from other male drivers but these are the kinds of things people want to know. You can also get yourself a mental coach to help set your minds state for the competition. All these are necessary steps to getting to where you must.

To retain your current sponsors and attract new ones is a mission. You have to be a good communicator and keep in touch with them. You also have to also do some marketing and do media coverage. That is the whole point of the support and branding. Basically, make the companies that are behind you look good. This makes it easier for you when you are looking for sponsorship.

You always plan for the way you are going to drive, this is how you plan to qualify. However, sometimes things may not go according to the intended plan. That is when things can get tough but you need to go through it. Keep your head up and have faith in your abilities. This is when you need to the most. You could qualify or you might not that is a factor everytime you are on the track.

Girls need role models in male-dominated sports or professions. This lets them know that anything is possible and they can conquer anything they put their mind to. Sure a female driver will experience a lot of things that a male driver won t, but in the end both genders have the same goal when they get on that track.
