Motorsport Australia’s FIA Girls on Track participants often undertake a range of extra curricular activities during their school studies. This included 18-year-old South Australian Jasmin Low.

Described as a sustainability and social justice champion by the South Australian Certificate of Education Board, Jasmin earned a Merit classification for her Research Project on Formula 1’s net zero goals and their relevance to Australia’s climate targets.

As a writer for DIVEBOMB Motorsport Magazine, Jasmin publishes articles on Feeder Series motorsport, representing the magazine alongside local and international press at motorsport events.

Low is also a founding member of her school’s Reconciliation Action Plan Committee and actively promotes cultural awareness and inclusion. Jasmin aspires to influence ethical innovation in motorsport.

Low’s research project was an extensive undertaking, that took two terms to complete during her Year 11 studies.

“Basically, you get one semester to take an in-depth research project into any topic of your choosing, and you need to go out and explore all the different avenues, where it could take you, do a folio, and then you produce an outcome like a written report, or a website reflecting on your work,” Low said.

“So, as part of that, I came to the Australian Grand Prix for the first time in 2024, and I spoke to the ESG manager and technical director at Formula One at the time, which was a really important part of my research.

“I then consolidated all of that into a report in which I earned a State Merit for it, which meant I was in the top 2% of the whole student cohort.”

At last year’s bp Adelaide Grand Final event, Jasmin shadowed Motorsport Australia Development Manager Charlie Barlow and Michael Heaton from Supercars, to learn more about broadcasting and media coverage, while also covering social media updates for Women in Automotive.

At the end of 2025, St Aloysius College in Adelaide submitted Jasmin for the Governor’s Commendation, becoming one of the 17,000 nominated students from schools around the state.

One of 40 who achieved this award, Low received the call on the same day she got her final year 12 results.

“My first Girls on Track event I went to I was only 15. So that was back in 2023 at the Adelaide 500 as it was known then,” Low added.

“I was able to make some really good connections there, some lifelong friends as well who’ve also made their way through this particular component of the program.

“Last year was the first opportunity for me to come to the Career & Mentoring Summit, so we’ve all learned a lot of skills, like networking and personal branding, going to employers and confidently say this is who we are.

“From the mentorship side of it. I was connected with Kate Peck, who has been such a positive influence during this whole process. She’s amazing and was such a great sounding board for my ideas when it came to my pitch in relation to my accreditation.”

Peck, a staunch advocate for the Girls on Track program, was extremely proud of Jasmin’s commitment to her work in recent years.

“Jasmin is the hardest working, most humble, gorgeous and switched on person. She uses so much initiative and flies under the radar. So this doesn’t surprise me at all,” Peck said.

“Because she’s still so young and she works so hard behind the scenes, she’s definitely been one of the most outstanding mentees that I’ve had in my time with Girls on Track.

“Her future is really bright and that has been, in part, thanks to Girls on Track, being able to inspire her and show her that women can achieve great things, and she’s really grabbed it by both hands and just rolling with it.”

Low is now undertaking her Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing and Communications at Adelaide University. She plans to begin a Master’s degree in sustainable futures.
