• The standout performers from Porsche’s Female Driver Program—ERIKA HOFFMANN, LONI UNSER, and ANNA CECCHI—joined the annual development workshop alongside their male counterparts, proving these women belong in every conversation about Porsche’s rising talent. HOFFMANN specifically called out how meaningful it was to be part of the iconic Mobil 1 program after watching previous participants and thinking “I really want to be part of that.”
• The two-day workshop combined high-level technical education at Team Penske’s state-of-the-art facility with rigorous physical and cognitive testing at PitFit Training. These women didn’t just participate—they absorbed pit stop techniques, received media training from NBC’s Matt Yocum, and underwent the same performance assessments as their male peers, building the complete skill set needed for professional racing careers.
• What makes this particularly significant is how Porsche continues investing in structured development programs specifically for women drivers, with HOFFMANN emphasizing the community aspect: “It’s been so fun to be with the other participants, build that bond, and work together.” This isn’t tokenism—it’s strategic talent development where women like THERESE LAHLOUH, MADELINE STEWART, and SABRE COOK are getting the same resources and mentorship that have historically been available only to men.
