Dolischka dominates Formula Woman Global Nations Cup Qualifying event

Austrian racing driver Jorden Dolischka claimed victory in Formula Woman’s Nations Cup Qualifiers at Dubai Autodrome after three closely fought qualifying sessions.

On a unique day for motorsport, we witnessed race action in the form of a time trial set-up at the Dubai Autodrome circuit for 40 of some of the best female racing drivers from across the globe. Jorden produced a superb overall performance throughout the day, to come out on top of the highly anticipated Formula Woman Global Nations Cup qualifiers.

She will no doubt now be one of the favourites for the main finale, scheduled to take place in Dubai next May, after setting the fastest recorded lap was of 1:04.105.

The English participating drivers were clearly on the pace too and both Steph Sore and Kirsty Mansell finished second and third respectively and praise should also be mentioned for UAE-based drivers, Manon Robillard, Sofia Necchi and Darcy Mead, who were all placed near the top of the qualifying times.

The qualifying event was made up of 38 selected drivers from almost 30 separate countries, a hugely impressive global cross section, which is down to the Formula Woman organisation and their extraordinary success of sourcing drivers who would most likely have never had the opportunity to compete at such a high level.

Formula Woman Founder and CEO, Graeme Glew, reflected on the event, saying: “Congratulations to Jorden on an outstanding result. She was a fully deserving winner, and the fact she recorded the fastest lap time in all three sessions, speaks volumes about her overall performance.

“There was some very impressive driving on show throughout the day and all the qualifiers will be delighted that they have made it through to Formula Woman Nations Cup.

“There is so much talent within Formula Woman, and we are extremely proud to have hosted such a successful event, here in Dubai. However, nothing stands still and we have already switched our focus to the main event when we return in May next year. Dubai is an inspiring and exciting location for motorsport, and we are committed to continuing to grow the Formula Woman brand on a global level while using the impressive facilities available to us here.” The Formula Woman Nations Cup will mark a truly special event in motorsport with its all-female grid and format.
