• JODIE SLOSS stands as the lone woman among 23 drivers selected for Aston Martin’s prestigious Racing Driver Academy, competing in the GT4 category alongside 13 other young talents aged 16-26. The academy evaluates drivers on strategic thinking, teamwork, commercial acumen, and public relations skills – areas where women consistently excel but rarely get credit for in motorsports.
• The evaluation process includes a comprehensive two-day seminar featuring media training, simulator work, fitness assessments, and engineering workshops, judged by factory drivers including Darren Turner and Jonny Adam. SLOSS will need to demonstrate not just pace but the complete driver package that Aston Martin demands from their supported athletes.
• The winner receives financial backing and factory guidance for their 2026 race program, following in the footsteps of previous graduates like Valentin Hasse-Clot and current GTWC Europe competitor Jamie Day. For SLOSS, this represents a crucial pathway in a manufacturer program that could accelerate her career trajectory in professional GT racing.
