NICOLE HAVRDA is a young 18 year-old Canadian race car driver who is rapidly making her name known in the world of motorsports. From karting to cars, Nicole is climbing her way up the racing ladder, as she works her way to achieving her goal of racing at the highest level of motorsport -- Formula 1.
Nicole already has a lot of experience behind her and a lot of great things ahead of her.
2022 - moved from karts to cars. The only Canadian, and the youngest among 15 drivers selected for the prestigious W series test. The youngest of 9 finalist for the Aston Martin GT4 shootout by The Heart of Racing team. She had several top 5 finishes in the inaugural Indian Racing League Championships towards the end of the year.
2023 - Nicole competed in Formula 3 in North America. She won 3 championships there.

What drives this young woman toward the pinnacle goal of competing at Formula One? What has her experience been like so far? What would she say to other young people, particularly women, about travelling through what many think of as a man's world of competition?
Come out to show support for this incredible lady from Courtney, BC. Bring your friends, particularly young people who will find, upon hearing from Nicole, inspiration for their own goals and dreams. It's worth a day off school :o)
