Baku City Circuit Represented at ‘Women in Motorsport’ Summit!

The “Women in Motorsport” Summit, hosted by DirtFish Rally, brought together prominent figures to spotlight and advance the role of women in the motorsport industry.

Among the distinguished panelists was Irana Ahmadova, Head of the Human Resources and Workforce Department at Baku City Circuit Operations Company. The summit aimed to celebrate women's achievements in motorsport while addressing the challenges they continue to face in this traditionally male-dominated field.

Representing the Baku City Circuit, Irana Ahmadova underpinned the importance of inclusivity and shared key initiatives launched during the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. She highlighted the positive progress in gender representation, noting that women now make up 36% of the circuit’s marshals — a result of steady growth since 2019, driven by dedicated mentorship programs and specialized training initiatives.

" At Baku City Circuit we strongly believe that inspiring next generation starts with visibility and connection. By championing youth, celebrating women in sport, and breaking barriers through example, we redefine what’s possible " Irana Ahmadova stated.

The summit brought together motorsport professionals, engineers, team leaders, and media representatives from around the world to discuss critical issues such as gender equality, leadership roles for women, and career advancement in the industry.

Baku City Circuit’s active participation in the summit reflects its commitment to promoting diversity and supporting the professional development of women across all levels of motorsport.
