WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
It all started from the pits. Their journey through the track has inspired us in our mission to race for all.
“Path to the Pits has quickly developed a platform that I passionately believe in - opening young eyes to what is possible for women in motorsports and opening doors to real opportunities. I am so impressed and inspired by the young women I have met, and their eagerness to absorb information and learn. Path to the Pits is demonstrating that women do belong in motorsports, and these young women can achieve their dream jobs!”
Kristin Labonte
President, Breaking Limits
“I loved my experience at Path to the Pits in Laguna Seca. I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about the different possible careers in Motorsports. This experience opened my eyes to the endless amount of possible careers that could be found on the commercial and competitive side of Motorsports. I loved how interactive this program was and the large amount of connections gained during my time at Laguna Seca. I appreciate how Vicky took the time to explain everything and kept including everyone in the conversations. This experience was one in a million and I cannot wait to share Path to the Pits with my friends!”

“I would like to say thank you, I really did not think I had a shot in motorsports at all until I did the Path to the Pits program at IMS. That meeting inspired me to pursue my dream seriously and apply for positions I would have never thought of applying to before. Can't wait to see where you go in 2024!”

“I would first like to take this opportunity to thank you all, the P2P team and Mr. and Mrs. Muela for giving me this life changing experience. l am from the Caribbean, specifically, Trinidad and Tobago. To the outsiders, it is an awe inspiring place to be born, but to me, there are some cultural norms that hinder young, West Indian women’s chances to work in male dominating industries, the motorsport industry for example. My dream ever since, is to be an engine performance engineer for a motorsport and or a racing team hence majoring in mechanical engineering hoping to do my masters in automotive engineering. I am looking forward to what the Path 2 Pits team has to offer in this mentorship program.”

“HUGE thank you for the whole experience today! It was absolutely amazing, and I know the rest of my team thinks so as well... P2P is such an awesome opportunity for a school like Long Beach State, a school that is compared to most as an affordable option. Therefore, we get a great diversity of students who don't necessarily have the opportunities that more expensive schools offer.”

“This was one of best programs I have ever experienced! The combination of classroom discussions, guest speakers, and hands-on experience made for a very well-rounded and exciting program. It was amazing how much could be packed into just 1 day! I absolutely loved being able to see the behind the scenes of a press conference, it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever gotten to do. I am incredibly grateful for being able to be apart of this wonderful opportunity and I look forward to seeing everyone again in the future!”
