GRRL! SUMMARY:
- BIANCA BUSTAMANTE scored a development driver position with Cupra Kiro in Formula E after her standout P3 finish in the 2024 all-women test at Jarama. The 20-year-old Filipina driver earned this opportunity through performance, not publicity – exactly how it should work in motorsports.
- Her Formula E debut comes at the Jakarta E-Prix in June, where she’ll shadow the team before getting her first wheel time at Berlin’s rookie test in July. The Tempelhof Street Circuit is notoriously challenging, but Cupra Kiro is backing her with comprehensive simulator work and technical support to set her up for success.
- BUSTAMANTE is pulling double duty, balancing this Formula E development role while competing in GB3 Championship as part of her ladder climb toward F1. It’s the kind of strategic career building we love to see – using every opportunity to gain experience while keeping the ultimate goal in sight.
UPCOMING:
- Jakarta E-Prix – June 20-21, 2025
- Berlin E-Prix Rookie Test – July 14, 2025
