Pippa Mann

2023 UPDATE: I am almost sold out for the upcoming race season, but I do have some limited availability left - including 4-6 WRL races starting in Barber in March.

My pricing is listed on my website - www.PippaMann.com, and there’s a contact form there too. I’m working with a GTO team that has seats to rent, and wants drivers who are willing to commit to a series of races.

Please use the contact form on my website if you want to learn more - not the messenger service here as it does work reliably for Pages. *** SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY ***

“If you were good enough, you would have the sponsorship”…

This blog post written by Round 3 Racing team owner Brad McCall is for anyone who has ever believed this myth, thought these words inside their head, or seen one my responses to this type of comment. (Admittedly sometimes those responses are a little eviscerating. My patience has been known to run thin…)

This blog post is not about me, it’s about Brad, his R3R team, who have been amazing Allies to Shift Up Now, and 3 of my sisters who are looking to race with him in 2023.

He has a team, he has the car, he has drivers he wants to field, and he’s working tirelessly alongside us to find the funding to try and ensure they’re on the grid.

Will you read the blog?

Speed costs money: How fast do you want to go? - Shift Up Now These days, when I pull up to a race track, I still feel like the little kid who traveled to IMSA races with his dad in the 1980s. The cool cars, big rigs,

Coffee Date! ☺️

Monica and I getting together in person this morning to focus on 2023 planning for Shift Up Now! 🙌🏻

Today the motorsport world mourns the loss of an icon. My heart goes out to Ken Block’s friends and family.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳

Here’s to 2023! 🙌🏻

Do you remember this race car? Mary-Jane, the original #420 car at TLM Racing?

Did you know I was a part owner of this car?

We’ll this summer she was sold, and so to close out the year I put my money where my mouth is, and made a donation to the Shift Up Now Foundation from a portion of the profits. ☺️

So now this race car, driven by one female racer, will actually go on to help other female racers in the future. Personally I think that’s kind of cool!

Is it 2023 yet? 😈

Very thankful for the programs I already have lined up for 2023, and the racers who I’m going to work with and race alongside. But I still currently have some openings available for 2023 in World Racing League and the new Master Class of Racing series.

Let’s go RACING! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’s the day after Christmas, and the The New York Times has published a great piece covering all aspects of what it’s like being a woman in motorsport.

However as their lead, they have chosen to focus on why female drivers are struggling to rise through the ranks - a subject you all know is close to my heart.

Back when I competed at the , I was the main person out there trying to raise enough funding to make it happen every year. Every year I always thought that if I just did more with what I had, if I did better on track, worked harder off track, maybe next year would be the year I would have enough money to mount a serious campaign…

Did you know that in 2019 I was one of only 3 or 4 drivers who didn’t get to do those extra two days of testing?

Did you know that when I strapped in for the first time each May, it was often the first time strapping back into a race car like this since the previous May?

In other sports athletes have the opportunity to practice when they’re not playing major games. In Motorsports, money keeps you out of the car almost all of the time.

Imagine showing up to the Super Bowl, to play, and the only time you’ve ever taken a snap in practice is in the two weeks leading up to the game. You haven’t played all year, but now you need to be ready to go…

I always thought it was a ”Pippa problem” - this inability to land a big sponsor, to find enough money that I wasn’t scraping, scratching together, relying on the good will and support of team owners to take me over a driver who had enough sponsorship to bring them profit from running an extra car.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t a Pippa problem.

I was facing a problem faced by many women in many sports, but in my sport the lack of funding literally means many women struggle to have the opportunity to even compete - let alone be in good equipment, have the opportunity to practice, have appropriate support off the race track.

I know that ALL racers struggle with the funding to compete. I get that. But when you’re part of a group, that aside from a few exceptions to the rule, has struggled more, it hurts when you see your fellow winning women sidelined from competing due to lack of financial support.

At Shift Up Now we’re working to change things for talented female racers. We already have the proof, both from our racers and race teams, that when we find female athletes the can win races, and projects like the Iron Dames have proved this on a global scale.

But we need to get more brands engaged, more partners who want to be part of driving change, more supporters committed to equality in our sport. We need to bring in gifts from those who can afford them to our 501c3 so that we can start writing grants. We need to raise our profile, so that we can raise the funding we’re able to raise, and make more of a difference to more racers.

We need to find those who are willing, able and want to make a difference. We want to find those who are willing to drive change.

Great first weekend working with Scott Vanacore at the International GT Championship season finale at Daytona! He set persinal bests every day, and then went on to improve his time again in the Sunday enduro! 👏🏻

Also super thankful to have the opportunity to hop into race cars like this on Sundays and share these enduro races! Thank you to TLM Racing for a great race car, and to Scott for my first opportunity to drive the 991.2 platform!

As we close the final race weekend of the season I also want to shout-out to Bell Techlogix, who aren’t visible in this photo, but who have been on my suit and helmet all year alongside their support of Shift Up Now, and to Race for RP - "Relapsing Polychondritis" who we also with me the entire season too - reminding people to join the race to fund the research to end RP. 💚💙💗

We’re not even a full day into the off-season and I’m already looking forward to 2023! 🙌🏻

Golden hour at Daytona by Chris Green Photography LLC! 🥰

Ran my first ever laps in the 991.2 platform yesterday evening and got 5 good laps of practice in! Tomorrow in the International GT season finale , Scott, who owns this car says he’ll have me jump back in to finish out the race for us! 🙌🏻

Huge thank you as always to TLM Racing for the opportunity to work with their racers, their race cars! 2022 has been quite the year, and I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings.

But one more race first! 😁

Heading back to the race track for the final race event of the 2022 season - International GT at Daytona with TLM Racing! 👏🏻

So you want to work with me in 2023?

I’m currently putting together my calendar for various series with clients and if you want to learn more about racing with me in World Racing League, American Endurance Racing, the new Master Class of Racing series OR find out more abouf joining us in IGT in 2023, EMAIL ME!!!

I still have seats open, or opportunities available in most of these paddocks, but my schedule is going to fill up fast, so make sure you reach out soon! 😎

Today is and I want to take a couple minutes if your time to talk about two of the logos on my helmet.

▪️ Race for RP - "Relapsing Polychondritis" is raising awareness of, and funding research for . I’ve carried their logo this entire season, and I would love it if you would consider giving the gift of research. You can learn more about RP, and the work these guys do here: https://raceforrp.org/

▪️ Meanwhile as you all know Shift Up Now is something close to my heart. Membership helps is pay for our small business to exist, and helps us pay all of the costs involved in running a small business - which means we can pass more of the funds we raise through sponsorship directly onto our racers to help them on track. If you can afford the $100 a year, we would love your support. Visit www.ShiftUpNow.com to learn more.
