Australian sim racing competitor Mia Rose has been named in the six-driver team at Rokt Red Bull Racing Esports, currently competing in the Motorsport UK British F4 Esports Championship through to the end of 2025.
The team’s announcement marks the first time an all-women squad will take part in the British F4 Esports Championship, and a milestone moment for the team’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in sim racing.
Rose joins Americans Paige Daughenbaugh, Annemarie DePasquale and Bel Wells, as well as Briton Rebecca Morrell and Spaniard Diana Perez.
The final team was selected after a comprehensive series of trials on the iRacing platform, drawing the attention of some of the world’s most talented women sim racers. Six drivers were ultimately chosen.
Two drivers were selected from Rokt’s ‘Rokt the Rig’ program, an initiative developed in partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing, which uses the EA Sports F1 game to scout and nurture women participants in esports and motorsport.
Director of Partnerships at Red Bull Technology Group Julia George said the aim of the Rokt the Rig programme, is to provide women esports talent with the opportunity to develop and hone their skills in a professional, competitive setting.
“We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Rokt to give wings to this group of talented women,” George outlined.
“Their commitment and dedication has been evident in preparation for the British F4 Esports Championship and we couldn’t wait to see how they got on in the opening round.”
The drivers underwent intensive training during a week-long bootcamp at the Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes prior to racing for the team.
The training included a bespoke gym session with the team’s personal trainer, and coaching from two-time iRacing World Champion Sebastian Job.
Chief Commercial Officer Elizabeth Buchanan said Rokt believes inclusion fuels performance, and the all-women team shows what’s possible when opportunity meets talent.
“Through initiatives like Rokt the Rig and now this first-ever all-women team, we are creating clear pathways for female talent to compete and thrive at the highest levels,” Buchanan stated.
“Our partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing goes beyond performance. Driving change, breaking barriers, and fostering the next generation of leaders across sport, technology and business.”
The British F4 Esports Championship is two rounds into the season, already hosting rounds at Donington Park and Thruxton.
Six rounds remain in the season with the final round to take place at Brands Hatch on 26 November.
