Pascoal has been selected as one of five new drivers to join the More Than Equal Driver Development Programme, a data-driven initiative that identifies and nurtures elite female racing talent from around the world.
She is recognised as one of the country's most promising young drivers, recently making history as the first female driver from South Africa to secure a seat in the FIA Karting Academy (Senior).
Her selection follows an extensive global talent identification process that assesses drivers across performance metrics, physical capability, psychological readiness and long-term development potential.
