Bia Figueiredo - Bia Anchão

Bia Figueiredo is recognized worldwide for her abilities with cars and speed. As a female racing driver, Bia faced a lot of challenges related to stereotypes. Her career started when she was just a child, with 8 years old. In this age she had already won some Kart racings.

Her mother was a dentist and her father was a psychologist. The first moment Bia asked to drive they felt insecure, not because she was a girl, but because it was dangerous. Even with this eminent ominous situation, they decided to be supportive for her. And we can be positive that it was a wise choice!

Bia won a lot of racings, prix and other championships during her career.

She drove Kart Racings until her 17s, then went to Formula Renault BR and since 2005 she rides at Indianapolis, USA. When asked about which cartoon character she looks most like, she answered it was Felicia, that one who love animals, as she is an animal-lover too. She admires Rich Mears, and every time that’s possible, she goes along with him, trying to learn more and more.
