East Kilbride racing driver Logan Hannah has swapped a cold December week in Scotland to the sunnier climate of the F1 paddock at Yas Marina race in Abu Dhabi this weekend, supported by Away. Logan, a previous multiple-race winner in single-seater racing at Knockhill, has landed a wild card race in the all-female F1 Academy championship which is run by Suzie Wolff.
Logan, 23 from East Kilbride, progressed to the highly prestigious British GB4 championship and again proved her speed by winning and now has the opportunity to pitch her racecraft against some of the fastest female racers in the world as they support the final round of the Formula One championships.
Stuart Gray, Knockhill’s Director of Events said “It is fantastic to see the progression of Logan in single-seater racing. The F1 Academy gives the chance for aspiring young female racing drivers to race on the same tracks and weekends as Formula One. This weekend Logan will race on a Circuit she knows well as she has raced there many times so should be immediately up to speed. With three races over the weekend, I expect she will be at the sharp end and featuring highly in the results. Hopefully this will act as a springboard for bigger things for her in 2025.”
The races can be seen on Sky F1 and the F1 Academy YouTube channels.
