Laura Kraihamer is an Austrian Motor Racing Driver currently with KTM Racing as a factory driver while also racing with the Giti Angels - an all-female team. Laura is in a strong position in her racing career with consistent results, and poised for another good year as she helps develop a new GT4 car. Cars are in her blood stream now although she didn’t inherit any motor sport genes. Her interest began when she was 12 years old and alongside her brother she would spend days on the track besotted with the sport and knowing that was what she wanted to do with her life. She took up go-kart racing for a few years and at age 16 when she realized her options were limited with no finance to help her break into the sport, she took a break for six years. When she was 22 she found her way and started professional racing. Opportunities for women and attitudes towards them in the sport has, Laura says changed in just the last few years. And she is determined to make her mark while supporting women coming into the sport.
