The landscape of motorsport is shifting gears rapidly. While female fandom and participation have skyrocketed globally—fueled by initiatives like FIA Girls on Track and the rise of the F1 Academy—significant stigmas still linger, particularly within the pit lanes and mechanical bays of top-tier racing. Enter Imogen Radburn, a force of nature who is actively dismantling those barriers by doing things entirely her way.

After a bid for the 2026 F1 Academy series, the NSW South Coast native pivoted to sportscar racing, launching her own team in the newly established Mustang Cup Australia. Not only is she commanding the wheel, but Imogen has also founded the paddock’s only all-female crew, drawing 70 applications nationwide to create a thriving training ground for women in motorsport. Supported by Supercars driver Cameron Hill and manager Lavender Baj, Imogen joins us to discuss her transition from open-wheelers, her lifelong roots in heavy machinery, and what it truly takes to drive your own destiny.
