Description

Tatiana Calderon is the first female driver to campaign for the A.J. Foyt Racing Team in its 56-year history. She brings a tremendous amount of experience into the cockpit. She’s been a test driver for the Alfa Romeo F1 Team for the last four years and has also raced in British and European F3, F2, GP3 and Renault Series Formula V8 3.5 where she became the first female to stand on the podium in 2017. In the two seasons prior to this year, she honed her craft in the Super Formula Series in Japan, as well as the World Endurance Championship. The plan for 2022 has been to compete in all of the road and street courses in the NTT IndyCar Series for Foyt. In this interview she talks about how the different classes of cars she’s raced compare to each other and how she prepares for her races. Enjoy!

NOTE: Just over halfway through the season, a sponsor issue saw Calderon sidelined. Hopefully she can return to her seat, if not this year, then next year. . .
