Students to Give Their Mothers a Report Card

The Women in Motorsport Committee, established within TOSFED to increase women's participation in every area of motorsport in Turkey, enable them to play a more active role, and create a platform where female competitors and officials can voice their problems and develop projects to solve them, is continuing its work. The commission, made up of Beyza Avcıoğlu, Yeşim Bostancı, Ayşin Uysal, Didem Kargın, Çiçek Güney, Sedef Dündar and Emire Cantürk Eren, each of whom competed in motorsport for many years and still serves the sport actively, is preparing to launch a new social responsibility project.

Aimed at primary school pupils, the "How Is the Parent's Report Card?" project consists of seminars to be held at schools selected in different provinces. The seminars, featuring Orhan Avcıoğlu from the Castrol Ford Team Türkiye and TV actress and co-driver Ecem Çalık, will begin in Bursa on Thursday 8 December. Held at TED Bursa College from 10:30 to 12:30 and then continuing at the Bahçehir Sinpaş Campus from 14:30 to 16:30, the seminars will give pupils basic information on road safety while also introducing them to motorsport.

As part of the project, participation forms will be handed out to pupils whose mothers drive, and the pupils will be asked to assess whether their mothers obey the rules while driving. Once the seminars, which will continue in other provinces, have finished, the 20 most successful parents will receive free advanced driving techniques training from expert instructors at the TOSFED Körfez Race Track.
