Colin Smith — February 16, 2022 — Autos
Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic gold medalist and current LGBTQ activist, has announced a new foray into professional racing with 'Jenner Racing.' Jenner Racing will be a single-seater motor racing team that competes in the 'W Series,' a set of tournaments that give women the chance to participate in competitive racing on the world stage.
While Caitlyn Jenner is the founder and namesake of Jenner Racing, she will also oversee each aspect of her team personally. This includes media deals, sponsorships, driver lineup selection, daily tasks, and will even oversee the team on race days.
Jenner noted that this team will aid in the W Series' mission of giving young girls and women the opportunity to succeed in a traditionally male-dominated sport, changing the face of the sport for the better. Jenner has been interested in competitive racing for her entire life, and had even participated in competitive racing herself beginning in 1978.
