LONDON: Saudi Arabian racing driver Reema Juffali is set to make her Formula 4 British Championship debut at Brands Hatch at the weekend.
Juffali, 27, will be racing for defending champions Double R Racing with her teammates Louis Foster and Sebastian Alvarez.
The championship is a multi-event, open-wheel single seater championship held at various racetracks across the UK between April and October.
Having made her debut in October 2018, a few months after the Kingdom lifted the ban on women driving and started issuing licences in June of the same year, Jeddah-born Juffali told the BBC she was excited about the coming year ahead.
“It’s such a great thing for me to do and represent my country,” she said.
“Brands Hatch is the heart of motorsport. It’s going to be a tough year in such a competitive championship, but I’m ready for the challenge,” she added.
Juffali, on debut, was one of only three women in the GCC to hold a race licence and the first Saudi female to compete in the TRD 86 Cup at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi.
