On 22nd August 2025, Blyton Park played host to Driven Life’s first ever women-only track day. It was the perfect start to our journey, attended by the friendliest, most wonderful bunch of women. Thankfully the weather gods smiled upon us, and our ladies brought an amazing selection of cars out to play.
The day featured a wide mix of abilities, with around 50% of our participants having never driven on track before – alongside some of our ladies who race. It’s fair to say the morning saw a few nerves, but they disappeared the moment people got out on track. Watching people’s faces turn from anxiety and worry, to utter excitement and joy was an absolute pleasure. And no, we won’t apologise for giving everyone the track driving bug! Manners on track were impeccable all day, with not a single red flag in sight, ensuring that everyone got the maximum track time.
Charlotte (our instructor) was fully booked all day, helping to ease nerves, as well as encouraging everyone to push harder. Meanwhile Laura (our photographer) captured the day with the most incredible photos you can see below. Mechanical support was also on-hand, provided courtesy of a few volunteers (thanks to Marley and my husband). Thanks to them, any problems that cropped up were soon resolved.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the most amazing thing about the day though was the sense of community. This wasn’t just a group of strangers doing their own thing in their own little bubble – this was a host of women coming together to support, encourage and congratulate each other throughout the day. There was no pressure, no cliques, no egotistical BS. Just a group of people all having the best day.
It was truly a fantastic day with a wonderful cohort of people; participants, spectators, support team and above all you and your wonderful Driven Life crew. We had an absolute ball. Fingers crossed for more in the future.
