ABU DHABI: In a boost for women drivers, the UAE’s Hamda Al-Qubaisi has been selected to take part in a Formula 3 test on Sept. 16 at Magny-Cours in France. As part of a campaign to provide women access to the FIA’s single-seater competition, the 20-year-old Al-Qubaisi, a Formula 4 and regional racer, will be testing for a full day, to introduce her to the F3 category’s cars
What Amna Al-Qubaisi lacks in physicality, she more than make up for in bravery and fortitude. The 21-year-old Emirati driver, who races for Abu Dhabi Racing, suffered a heavy crash earlier this year that left her F3 car badly damaged. A week later, she was back behind the wheel. It has been an eventful start to her participation in the Formula Regional Asian Championship.
All the three members of the Emirati Al Qubaisi racing family - Khaled and his daughters, Amna and Hamda - are set to take part in the upcoming Formula Regional Asian Championship. The first round of the race is taking place around Yas Marina Circuit.
