PETALING JAYA: Farah Irdina Abdul will be Malaysia's representative in the Formula Woman Nations Cup in Dubai in May.
Farah earned the right to fly Malaysia's flag after she finished 16th in the qualifiers in December. She will take on 36 other drivers from 25 countries to challenge for success in the event taking place on May 3-4.
Formula Woman is a newly introduced event that aims to get women across the world with limited or no racing experience into racing cars at an affordable cost.
Unlike the elite big-budget world of The F1 Academy or the W-Series that preceded it, which is no more, Formula Woman is a merit-based system.
It doesn't cost anything to become part of the Formula Woman community as it’s absolutely free to become a Formula Woman member.
Formula Woman aims to allow women across the world to race and some of whom will ultimately go on to make careers of it.
They might end up in series like The World Endurance Championship, European Le Mans Series, IMSA, National GT and Touring Car Championships, Regional GT Series and other professional motor racing championships.
