Four Year 10 students travelled to the Gold Coast 500 as part of Griffith University's SuperGEMS program, gaining exclusive access to the PremiAir Racing Team garage. They spoke with team physiotherapist Chloe Prudden about her role in supporting elite motorsport athletes.
Students also met Sara, who works in race control and oversees the setup of both the Gold Coast and Melbourne Formula 1 tracks. To top off the experience, the girls had the opportunity to chat with a race engineer from the Penrite Racing Team, fresh off their recent Bathurst victory.
It was an inspiring and informative day that showcased the diverse career pathways for women in sport, engineering, and high-performance environments.
