MEGAN BRUCE brings F1 Academy ambitions to COTA debut

October 25, 2026

• MEGAN BRUCE tackles COTA for the first time in F1 Academy, the last time the series raced there was its inaugural 2023 season — giving her minimal laps to learn the track.
• Bruce came to racing unconventionally: she built a kart at 17 to study mechanical engineering, then ended up behind the wheel and never looked back.
• She credits JAMIE CHADWICK’s single-seater career as the proof she needed that a place in motorsport was realistic for a woman like her.
• Bruce is pushing for a clear pipeline: more women entering karting and development series to make F3 and eventually F1 a genuine possibility, not a long shot.
