Alana Carter Joins Radical Cup Canada Series
25 APRIL 2024 (TORONTO, ON) – Carter becomes the first driver confirmed to the newly launched Radical Academy.
A rising star in international sportscar racing, Carter made the move cross-country from Alberta to Toronto in 2022 to make her dream of a full-time career in motorsports a reality. Since then, she placed first in the 2022 Formula Woman racing competition and became the first person to race a Lotus Emira GT4 alongside her teammate.
Most recently, Carter participated in her first Radical race, placing fourth in class at Donington Park Circuit in the UK.
This year, Carter will be driving for Radical Academy, racing in the 2024 FEL Motorsports Emzone Radical Cup Canada series. Radical Academy is the first-of-its-kind female forward racing team led by Team Principal April Burgess, in partnership with Radical Canada.
Radical Academy seeks to support women in motorsport from the garage to the top of the podium, with the mission to see as many women on the track racing side by side as men.
Radical Academy Team Principal April Burgess adds, “Radical Academy is going to provide opportunities for girls and women to be involved in motorsport, whether that’s as a driver, technician, or in supporting roles. Racing historically has been a male-dominant sport, and it’s about time that changes."
Carter's Radical academic journey kicks off May 17th, 2024, with the first race of the season at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. You can also catch her racing on the streets of Toronto as the Radical Cup makes its appearance as a support race at the 2024 Honda Indy in Toronto.
