Laser Tools Racing has confirmed its support of Chloe Grant in the new all-female F1 Academy series. Chloe has joined ART Grand Prix and the 17-year-old racer will be part of a three-car line-up at the French team.

Founded by Formula 1, the F1 Academy is a brand new all-female championship for 2023. It features seven events all staged on famous Grand Prix tracks, 21 races in total, and includes a season finale alongside the F1 United States Grand Prix in Texas in October. The series is aimed at developing and preparing young drivers to progress to higher levels of competition.

Speaking about her announcement, Chloe said she was excited about the new opportunities that the series would bring, “This is my second year with Laser Tools Racing and we share the same passion for winning! The F1 Academy has presented an amazing opportunity and with the capability of ART Grand Prix, I can't wait to get started!”
 
Keith Anderson, Motorsport Sponsorship Liaison for Laser Tools Racing commented, “We were very impressed with Chloe’s performance in last year’s GB 4 championship and are excited to be supporting her in this very prestigious F1 Academy series. With Chloe we can continue with Laser's ethos of spotting young talent and then developing that talent on the race track.”

The Loughborough College student is currently completing a two-year Enhanced Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) course provided by Motorsport UK Academy. Chloe will test for the ART Grand Prix team for the first time next month in Spain and France, when the 15-car grid come together prior to the first race.

The F1 Academy 2023 Calendar kicks off at Spielberg, Austria on April 28th and 29th.
