The FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars program was created as a collaboration between the FIA's Women in Motorsports Commission and the Ferrari Driver Academy, in order to support young female drivers.[1] In total there were four editions of the program, from 2020 to 2023.[2]
Each test included a training camp and a shootout. Talent scouts narrowed the drivers down to four finalists, and then one winner.[3] From 2021 the drivers were separated into two categories, Junior (12–14) and Senior (14–16).[4]
Maya Weug won the first edition in 2020, and became the first female driver to join the Ferrari Driver Academy.[5] Weug raced in the Italian F4 Championship with the Iron Dames, who partnered with the Rising Stars program in 2021, when Ferrari announced that they would be continuing with the program until 2023.[6]
