LILOU WADOUX Leads Ferrari Charge While Development Programs Shape Future

March 9, 2026

• LILOU WADOUX proves what proper manufacturer backing can achieve, securing Ferrari contract renewal after capturing the 2025 IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup title and consistently battling top GT drivers in ELMS. Her success demonstrates that when drivers receive competitive equipment and sustained support rather than PR obligations, performance speaks for itself – a refreshing contrast to the social media pressure many female drivers face.
• The More Than Equal Driver Development Programme represents genuine investment in female racing talent, supporting eight emerging drivers including JULIA ANGELARD, ALEXIA DANIELSSON, LANA FLACK, ZOE FLORESCU POTOLEA, SKYE PARKER, GIANNA PASCOAL, IVONN SIMEONOVA, and AMELIA WYSZOMIRSKA through data-driven training and comprehensive support systems designed specifically for elite-level preparation.
• Meanwhile, manufacturer commitments show mixed results – while drivers like DORIANE PIN with Mercedes-Benz, MAYA WEUG with Ferrari, and JAMIE CHADWICK through Genesis demonstrate positive partnerships, Ford’s Racing Driver Development Team launched without any female drivers and Alpine’s ambitious 2023 female development initiative quietly disappeared, proving that headlines without sustained investment mean nothing.
