Plans revealed for 2026 DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit

For our first Summit, we are doing things differently. This year, we are all about action and immersion

The DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit returns for 2026 on Saturday August 22.

After listening to some of world motorsport’s most celebrated women, it’s time to take the words of legends like Michèle Mouton, Claire Williams and Pernilla Solberg and put them to use. This summer’s DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit is all about action.

Every aspect of motorsport will be covered in a way we’ve never covered it before in an extraordinary day at DirtFish Rally School.

We’re giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in whichever area of the sport fires your imagination.

“We are fully focused on action this year,” said DirtFish Women in Motorsport coordinator Josie Rimmer.

“This year’s event, which is our fifth DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit, will use the entire DirtFish property, filling every building and road with hands-on workshops which allow participants to get inside of the car, inside engine bays, and inside the minds of some of the world’s best co-drivers.

“We’ll host workshops focused on rally, off-road driving, drifting, stunt driving, co-driving, media, film, business, sponsorship, and so much more.

“Whether your interest set is already decided, or you’re just getting involved, you’ll get to learn directly from leading women throughout the sport and the industry. This is your chance to come along and actually get involved.

“If it’s your first step in the sport, come and take it with us.”

Across the last four years, the DirtFish Women in Motorsport Summit has grown into an event which is globally recognized, appreciated and attended by powerhouse women from the World Rally Championship, Formula 1 and world motorsport’s governing body, the FIA. Last year’s Summit was led by iconic F1 team principal Claire Williams.

The Summit has already delivered results in the shape of the DirtFish Women in Motorsport Driver Program, with Irishwoman Aoife Raftery leading the charge with a string of sensational results in the ARA National Championship.

Rimmer added: “I can’t wait to carry the momentum from our 2025 Women in Motorsport Summit and our Women in Motorsport Driver Program to see just how much we can achieve. We’re all looking forward to seeing you on August 22.

“Oh, and if you want a little more action, keep an eye out for a VIP event on August 21.”

We’ve talked the talk, now join us to walk the walk.
