JODIE SLOSS Retains Aston Martin Academy Spot as Sole Female in 2025 Lineup

May 29, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

JODIE SLOSS stands alone as the only female driver retained in Aston Martin’s exclusive Driver Academy for 2025, proving her worth against top international talent. The 23-year-old Scot earned this prestigious spot through consistent performance in her rookie season, where she scored multiple podiums and impressed evaluators including three-time Le Mans winner Darren Turner and British GT champion Jonny Adam.
Her rapid ascent from complete racing novice to factory-backed driver reads like motorsport fiction—winning Formula Woman in 2022 despite zero racing experience, then transitioning from equestrian sports to claim podiums in every Porsche Open Cup appearance in 2023. The comprehensive Academy program offers simulator training, fitness coaching, engineering workshops, and crucially, a direct pathway to works driver status that previous graduates like Ross Gunn have successfully traveled.
Currently competing in the competitive FFSA French GT4 Championship with Mirage Racing, SLOSS has already delivered results that justify Aston Martin’s continued investment. She narrowly missed an Am class podium by half a second in wet conditions at Nogaro, then claimed back-to-back podiums (second and third) at Dijon-Prenois despite never racing the circuit before—exactly the adaptability that separates promising drivers from genuine prospects.
