Female Drivers From Austria, Sweden and South Africa Star at Pembrey Formula 4 Test

More Than Equal, the global high-performance motorsport programme focused on identifying and developing elite female racing talent, has completed its first Formula 4 test of the 2026 season, with three drivers undertaking a two-day programme at Pembrey Circuit in Wales.

Held on 30–31 March, the test provided valuable seat time in single-seater machinery as the drivers continue their transition from karting towards the professional ranks of the sport.

The drivers in attendance were:

  • Ivonn Simeonova (Austria)
  • Alexia Danielsson (Sweden)
  • Gianna Pascoal (South Africa)

Across two days, drivers completed extensive on-track running in Formula 4 machinery. Gianna Pascoal built on the technical foundations established during the programme’s Ginetta test at Blyton Park in February, adapting quickly to the demands of the new car. More experienced drivers Ivonn Simeonova and Alexia Danielsson used the test to focus on refining more technical aspects of their driving, building on knowledge gained from previous More Than Equal F4 camps.

Alongside track sessions, drivers continued to integrate data analysis and physical conditioning into their programme, reinforcing the focus on developing complete, high-performance racing athletes.

Jordan King, Driver Coach at More Than Equal, said: “Stepping up to Formula 4 is the most critical transition in a young driver’s career. We are starting to push our drivers further in understanding how to manipulate the car, getting it to the limit of its grip, and extracting more performance.”

Sarah Moore, Driver Coach at More Than Equal, added: “It’s been encouraging to see how quickly the drivers are able to translate data into performance. Formula 4 demands a higher level of precision, and this test provided a valuable opportunity to build confidence and deepen their technical understanding.”

Delivered as part of the More Than Equal Driver Development Programme, the Pembrey test represents a key step in preparing drivers for future single-seater competition. The programme continues to provide bespoke technical coaching, physical preparation and mental performance support, following a structured, long-term approach focused on unlocking elite potential.

Founded by businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist Karel Komárek and former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard, More Than Equal is dedicated to finding and developing the first female Formula 1 World Champion.
