    Projekt-Partner Presseinformationen zu unserem Projekt News · News · News · News · News Q&A // Team „Girls only“ NBR 24h // Stand: 23.04.2019 Was sind die Hintergründe des Projekts? Der Rennstall WS Racing mit Sitz in Trierweiler geht in der Motorsport-Saison 2019 mit dem Partner Giti Tire an der Seite mit einem reinen Frauenteam mit einem neuen Golf GTI TCR an den Start. Hierbei ist nicht nur die Fahrerbesetzung weiblich, sondern das gesamte Team: von der Teamchefin über die Ingenieurinnen bis zu den Mechatronikerinnen. Der Projektname lautet „Girls only“, der gesamte Claim „Girls only – Ready to rock the Green Hell“. Wie entstand die Idee für das Projekt? Die Geschäftsführer von WS Racing, Thorsten Willems und Thomas Rehlinger, hatten bereits 2015 die Idee, ein reines Frauenteam beim 24-Stunden-Rennen auf dem Nürburgring an den Start zu bringen. Aufgrund der zeitlich aufwendigen und umfangreichen Betreuung der eigenen Kunden sowie des Einsatzes der eigenen Fahrzeuge war es zunächst allerdings nicht möglich, das Projekt so aufzustellen, dass man dem eigenen professionellen Anspruch gerecht wird. Im Frühjahr 2018 kam das Gespräch dann erneut auf, ausgehend von Nicole Willems, der Ehefrau des Teamchefs, die der Meinung war, dass ein reines Damenteam mit gleicher Performance agieren könnte. Für die Saison 2019 sind die Ressourcen vorhanden. Das Projekt wird von Giti Tire als Hauptpartner und von Volkswagen als Kommunikations-Partner unterstützt. Welche Ziele werden mit dem Projekt verfolgt? Reine Frauenteams im Langstreckensport sind nicht neu. WS Racing hat diese Idee aber neu ausgerollt und konsequent weitergedacht: Resultat ist der Einsatz eines kompletten Frauenteams im und außerhalb des Cockpits.

For more than 115 years Renault has embraced the challenge of motorsport in multiple guises. It recognised the value of competitive activities for technical and commercial gain: in December 1898 Louis Renault drove the Type A Voiturette up the steepest street in Paris, the rue Lepic. The first orders for the ground-breaking car with direct drive flooded in. In 1902 the nimble, lightweight Type K, fitted with Renault’s first 4-cylinder engine, took victory in the Paris-Vienna rally. Again, many more cars were sold. Going through the years, in 1977 Renault introduced the first-ever turbocharged car to F1.
