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 and different set-ups.

The Emirati racer secured her maiden overall podium finish in the Italian Formula 4 Championship in 2021, becoming the first and only woman to achieve that result.
