The Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF) has appointed Natya Soodeen as chairperson of Women in Motorsport Barbados. A former show-jumper, who has represented Barbados in regional and international events, Soodeen has turned her passion for competition from one horsepower to another and is now an active member of the island’s motor sport scene.Soodeen said: “I am very excited about this new position and keen to get started. Even before speaking to Andrew Mallalieu, I had begun to organise an event at Worthing Square Food Court, to promote the sport to females, especially the youngsters and those with less resources and those with disabilities. This is a perfect fit with the FIA’s Purpose Driven Diversity & Inclusion programme, so I hope we can make our mark.”
