ABOUT SLATE:

Founded with the desire to create space for women within the heavily male dominated motorsports world, Slate Racing is Canada's first female led sportscar racing team. With a mission to create opportunities for all within motorsports, Slate is breaking down barriers in the industry. 


Currently female drivers make up only 7% of professional drivers globally. As one of the only sports where men and women compete head to head, this discrepancy is staggering. Additionally, the workforce in motorsports is largely male. Many of the members of Slate Racing have worked on teams where they are the only female. 


Slate Racing exists to change that. Join us as we move towards a future where diversity isn't just accepted; it's expected.

CORE VAULES:

OPPORTUNITY

Driven to create accessibility and inclusivity in motorsports.

EXCELLENCE

Dedicated to performing at the highest level in everything we do.

COLLABORATION

Fostering growth within the team, among each other and with our partners.

THE NAME:

The meaning behind the word "Slate" is derived from the stone it is named after. Slate is used as a whetstone to improve the performance of the tools it is sharpening. This meaning aligns with Slate Racing's mission to equip those in the team to perform at their best.

SLATE (WHETSTONE): 

Slate serves as a resilient instrument used for honing and fortifying metal blades and devices. Its purpose is to enhance the efficiency, strength, and competitiveness of other stones.

SLATE RACING:

Slate Racing is a team dedicated to sharpening our skills, strengthening our abilities, and empowering those within motorsports.
