a couple of ladies had a dream to shareThe dream involved creating an organization where girls of

all ages and all walks of life, could come together and share

a common passion. A place where they could learn without

judgement or insecurity, share their dreams and goals, and find

friends and mentors with a similar passion and a common goal.

in the beginningStarted in 2001 by Sue Corbett and Leonie Maher, and

initially only located in NSW, Girls Torque (Australian

Women’s Motorsport Network), quickly grew to include

members from all over Australia. With their own personal

involvement in motorsport, Sue and Leonie could see there

was a growing interest from girls within their community.

Some girls were interested in racing, while there were

many others who preferred to be more hands on with the

engines. But even within this age of equality, they could

see that only the most out spoken of girls would be

given a chance to learn and participate.

So born was the need to provide a safe learning

environment where young girls could be mentored and

encouraged to follow their dreams.

amazing girls doing great thingsGirls Torque is made up of girls of all ages and from all walks

of life who want to make their mark on the world. Whether it’s

through their own self achievement or by inspiring others to

reach out and grasp their own dreams.

stars in the makingWe might just have the first female to win a formula 1 race,

or to design the worlds fastest environmentally friendly

race car. But more likely we have a lot of girls who aren’t

afraid to look under the bonnet, or change a tyre, and

who don’t feel left out when the conversation turns to

motorsport. Our girls all have the same passion, whether

they are under the bonnet, waving a flag, taking photos

or in the driver seat.

And in our eyes, that alone makes them a star already.

who join Girls Torque is their willingness to share their knowledge and

experiences with not only other girls in the organization, but with the

wider community.
