Go behind the scenes with Racing Pride Aston Martin Award for Diversity & Inclusion winners Southampton University Formula Student Team visiting our partners Aston Martin F1 Team for a look around their Silverstone Technology Campus and an opportunity to speak with members of the team. We’re really proud of being able to offer this truly meaningful Award, each year recognising the IMechE Formula Student team which has done the most to promote diversity & inclusion within their society and more broadly. By celebrating the winning team, we also encourage others to think about what they can do, too, and we have seen the level of the entries rise year on year. The initiatives being developed by the teams will help open up opportunities for more people from diverse backgrounds to have a taste of motorsport and play a part in building a more inclusive industry. Thank you to Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd & Aston Martin F1 Team for their ongoing support, and congratulations again to the team from University of Southampton.

Racing Pride is an innovative movement championing LGBTQ+ inclusion through motorsport
About us
Launched in June 2019, Racing Pride champions LGBTQ+ inclusion through motorsport and the associated automotive industry. It brings together Ambassadors in a range of motorsport roles from drivers to technical roles and officials to be visible role models on-track and off-track for the LGBTQ+ community within and beyond motorsport. Racing Pride partners with motorsport organisations, teams and series, and has built a network of partners in Europe and North America ranging from grass roots and student motorsport to Formula One. Racing Pride relies on the support of companies and organisations both within and beyond motorsport, which believe in our mission, to partner with us and support us in our work. Away from the track, we are able to provide workshops, resources, and advice on how to create an LGBTQ+ friendly culture within your team, organisation, or company and guidance on best practice for media communications. This makes Racing Pride an ideal Corporate Social Responsibility partner. If you or your organisation would like to join us in our mission, please feel free to get in touch either here or via the contact form on our website: www.racingpride.com.

Last weekend we were delighted to present the Racing Pride Aston Martin Award for Diversity & Inclusion at IMechE Formula Student 2024 to Southampton University Formula Student Team 🏆 The University of Southampton team has planned and implemented a well thought out strategy over the last year to boost inclusivity across their society. 25% of the society behind the team are first generation students, at least 20 different nationalities are represented, and 44% are from ethnic minority backgrounds. Pronouns and chosen names are integrated into everyday functioning of the team, mentoring and support systems encourage the learning of new skills, and future plans include introducing audio description. They are even collaborating with National Motor Museum to create learning resources for Key Stage 3 & 4 students. In recognition of their achievement, the team enjoyed prize experiences with our partners Aston Martin F1 Team & Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd - getting to explore behind the scenes and meet the designers. Congratulations to Southampton and all of the amazing entrants to our Award this year. It’s fantastic to see the number of entries growing year on year, and the increasing efforts of the student societies. Who will win in 2025?! 👀 #student #formulastudent #motorsport #inclusion

We’re proud to have been part of these Pride Month events in Brackley. Our ambassadors and community champions presented a panel session focused on understanding LGBTQ+ allyship and attended the Team BBQ to help spread awareness of the work we are doing and the support we can offer to team members.
Pride month in June was a moment to mark our important diversity and inclusion efforts across the team. Head of Equality, Diversion, and Inclusion Hiran Odedra said: "But it is of course about much more than just a month. "Our ongoing diversity and inclusion initiatives aim to create an inclusive culture at Brackley and Brixworth in which everyone can thrive and be their authentic selves.” Full piece: https://lnkd.in/eD8iw9sq #Pride #Diversity #Inclusion #MercedesAMGF1 #Formula1 #PrideMonth

It was fantastic to visit the McLaren Racing Technology Centre earlier this week with Richard Morris, Jordan Rand, Jon Holmes, Anjali Silva-Vadgama, Cammie Sturch, and Luke Pullen. Through the day Racing Pride spoke to team members across the site, hosted a panel discussion about LGBTQ+ inclusion and allyship, and facilitated a focus group session for the team’s internal LGBTQ+ network. We are proud to be working in partnership with McLaren and days like this, when we can have meaningful conversations and exchange insights, experiences, and hopes with people working within the team really help us to drive ongoing progress together. #pride #lgbtq #pridemonth #f1 #motorsport
“The reception from everyone here as been so warm, so welcoming and so engaged to embrace that safe space that we’re creating.” 🧡🏳️🌈 We were thrilled to host ambassadors from Racing Pride at the McLaren Technology Centre this week as our Pride Month celebrations continue throughout June.
