WEC racing // Scottish
I do miss the horses, but I feel like racing is my calling. I have found my purpose.
Jodie Sloss is a Scottish motorsport sensation who rose to prominence after winning the Formula Woman Competition, beating over a thousand competitors despite having no prior racing experience.
EARLY YEARS
Growing up on a croft in Oban, Scotland, Jodie was inspired by Susie Wolff MBE, a pioneering figure in women’s motorsport from her hometown. Before racing cars, she found success in British Eventing competitions, described as an equestrian triathlon, which shares some physical and mental challenges with motorsport[1].
EARLY SUCCESS
Sloss’s motorsport journey began with her triumph in the 2022 Formula Woman Competition, where she emerged victorious against over 1,000 drivers worldwide. This remarkable achievement earned her a seat racing a McLaren 570S GT4 in the UK’s GT Cup championships[1]. Her natural talent was immediately evident as she secured the best finish for her team that year at Silverstone[1].
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2022: Won the Formula Woman Competition, becoming the first Scot to do so[1].
- 2022: Competed in the GT Cup Championship driving a McLaren 570S GT4[1].
- 2022: Achieved her team’s best finish of the year at Silverstone[1].
- 2023: Secured podium finishes in all three of her Porsche Open Cup outings while driving an older 2010 Porsche 991 Cup car[2].
- 2024: Joined Forsetti Motorsport to compete in the GT Cup Championship in an Aston Martin Vantage GT4[2].
REPUTATION
At just 22 years old, Jodie has quickly established herself as one of the most promising talents in motorsports. Her ability to compete against more experienced drivers in older and less powerful machinery has earned her widespread recognition in the racing community[3]. Her journey from complete novice to rising star is considered inspirational, particularly for young women aspiring to break into the male-dominated world of motorsports[4].
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Looking ahead, Sloss aims to compete in prestigious endurance races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Nürburgring, and 24 Hours of Spa[3]. She has set her sights on progressing to GT3 racing and becoming a leading female driver in the global motorsport scene. To achieve these ambitious goals, she continues to seek sponsorship deals to support her competitive career[1].
