GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • Seven women comprise nearly half of the 15 finalists for IMSA’s prestigious 3D Scholarship worth up to $300,000. The impressive female contingent includes F1 Academy standout CHLOE CHAMBERS (2025 championship third place, two wins), proven sports car veterans like SABRE COOK (Porsche Carrera Cup) and SAMANTHA TAN (IMSA VP Racing Challenge GTDX Bronze Cup winner), plus rising stars across multiple series from karting to prototype racing.
  • The female finalists bring serious credentials that should silence any doubters. MADDIE AUST impressed with fourth place on her Pilot Challenge debut at Daytona, while NICOLE HAVRDA brings Formula Pro USA Championship and SFR Formula Atlantic 2 Championship wins. HANNAH GRISHAM won her Lamborghini Super Trofeo debut and earned Heart of Racing’s scholarship in 2022, proving this pipeline works when women get real opportunities.
  • What’s particularly compelling is the diversity of paths these women have taken – CAITLYN SINGLER rebuilt her career after losing her home in wildfires and now has 10 wins across NASA and WRL, while TAN earned Forbes’ 30 Under 30 recognition. The finalists must now complete IMSA’s development modules and secure a full-season ride by August 14th, with the winner announced this fall for 2027 competition in WeatherTech SportsCar, Pilot Challenge, VP Racing Challenge, or Mustang Challenge.
