Leena Gade, three-time Le Mans-winning race engineer and race engineer for the No. 77 Mazda Team Joest, is not only a pioneer for women engineers in motorsports but is also an advocate for young girls in the sport.
As the first female race engineer to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2011, the world's oldest active sports car race in endurance racing, she is paving the way for future female race engineers.Mazda - Ignite Media- Halston Pitman/Larry ChenLike other industries, motorsports, governed by the FIA, still struggle with the ratio of male-to-female employees.
Gade is responsible for analyzing the data and communicating it back to the drive; she provides the information about where the driver is in the stint. “As a race engineer,” she smiles, “funnily enough, you don't know everything about the engine, the gearbox, the control systems and all of that. We have support engineers who do a lot of that for us. It's about grabbing that information and then coordinating where you're going to head with that next.
“The build up to that the season had not started well,” Gade explains. “There were lots of things that went wrong. I was convinced I was going to be fired after Le Mans because I got things wrong.
