'And thankfully it was sunny this year so the girls got to have a go with the EV karts! There were many great questions about being a part of the Motorsport world as a woman. It's lovely to see the progress involving us in the space and I'm grateful to now be in a position to offer advice to many brilliant young women!! Thanks you for having me and @maaya_orido_559!!' she added. Another Formula E driver, Maaya Orido, also shared happy pictures from the Girls on Track program in Tokyo.

I rarely have the chance to talk and interact with women like this, so I had a lot of fun interacting with so many people this year. It was my first time riding a tandem kart, but it was so much fun. It was a great experience again this year! Thank you.
