Women with Drive V – Driven by Mobil 1™ Summit
The prestigious Women with Drive V Summit is set to take place from December 8-10, 2025, at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. This event, presented by Mobil 1™, marks a significant milestone as it is the fifth annual gathering of Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA). Continuing a tradition that began in Nashville and has expanded to Charlotte, Phoenix, and now Indianapolis, the Summit is expected to be bigger and more impactful than ever.
A Unifying Event for the Motorsports Community
The Women with Drive Summit brings together a diverse array of attendees from various facets of motorsports, including industry veterans, up-and-coming talents, and influential allies.
