London, England (May 7, 2021) - Formula E and the FIA have today announced a six year extension to their collaboration of the FIA Girls on Track programme, with ABB, Formula E’s title partner, joining the initiative as its first global partner.

FIA Girls on Track was launched by the FIA Women in Motorsport commission in 2018 to raise awareness and increase the number of women in motorsport by unlocking opportunities and giving many their first experience in the industry.

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has been hosting the grassroots programme since its inception, inviting young women aged between 8 and 18 years-old to discover, for free, different aspects of the motorsport industry through activities and workshops promoting inclusivity in an innovative, engaging and positive manner.

ABB now joins FIA Girls on Track as the first global partner. This new collaboration aims to increase outreach in key markets and grow the programme across new territories, benefitting countless young women and providing them access to new learning materials and opportunites.

FIA Girls on Track will feature at four events during each ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season and stage ancillerary events to promote the role of women in motorsport by educating and inspiring the next generation.

Audiences can plug in and follow the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube. @FIAFormulaE #ABBFormulaE
