Two FIA Girls on Track alumni have turned their passion into profession, securing roles with Porsche Carrera Cup Australia driver Harri Jones at Jones Motorsport.

Queenslanders Emily Stone and Jemma Warburton have been recruited by the two time Porsche Carrera Cup Champion and team principal Jones, to support the family-owned race team’s Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge and Porsche Carrera Cup Championship campaigns.

Emily has joined as a junior engineer for the team’s Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge program, where she will assist the team in collecting data to help optimise racing performance.

For Emily, her passion for motorsport began when she was studying at university.

“I got into motorsport by joining a university club, which I have been a part of for four years,” Emily said.

“I then discovered and applied for the 2023 Girls on Track program at the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix where I first met Charlie Barlow [Development Manager, Motorsport Australia].

“I contacted Charlie after the program to see if there was any chance to gain work experience within a motorsport team, which is how I am here now.”
