Logan Hannah is a British motorsport racer who has blazed trails as the first female driver in the Formula 4 UAE Championship and achieved historic wins in the GB4 series.
EARLY YEARS
Born in Britain with a mixed upbringing between Scotland and the UAE, Logan was introduced to racing through her father, a race driver himself. At age 11, she convinced her father to let her try karting after years of being a self-described “spanner-monkey” in his team garage, helping with car maintenance and absorbing the racing environment[2][3]. Her hands-on experience with racing machinery from such a young age laid the foundation for her future career in motorsports.
EARLY SUCCESS
Hannah began her competitive racing career at 12, racing karts in Dubai before moving to East Kilbride in 2016 and transitioning to single-seater racing. Her professional debut came in 2017 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, where she competed in the Formula 4 UAE series at just 16 years old, becoming the first female driver in the series[1][3]. Her early talent was evident as she progressed through karting into formula racing, establishing herself as one of the promising young female talents in a male-dominated sport.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

REPUTATION
At 23, Logan has established herself as a versatile and determined competitor in the motorsport world. Named Female Driver of the Year by Karting Magazine in 2017, she has continued to break barriers as one of the few women competing at high levels in racing[4]. Her ability to balance her racing career with academic achievements—completing a BA (Hons) in Psychology and Sports Studies at the University of Stirling—has further enhanced her reputation as a well-rounded athlete dedicated to excellence both on and off the track[3].
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Hannah has expressed ambitions to compete in prestigious endurance events such as the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Rolex 24, hoping to establish herself in GT and prototype racing[3]. She aims to continue racing with Nielsen Racing at circuits like Spa-Francorchamps while pursuing opportunities to inspire the next generation of female racers through her performances and advocacy[4].
