THE FUTURE IS FEMALE FORWARD
Motorsport & Marketing
Raised with a strong work ethic, Abbey Kay McDonald has set out to combine her two talents and passions - motorsport & marketing. From this, Built Different has come to life!
Abbey’s vision is to bridge the gap between modern marketing and the motoring industry, providing smaller businesses with access to top-tier competitive marketing intel and support, and gradually influencing the approaches to motorsport marketing for a more inclusive future.
They say if you love what you do then you’ll never work a day in your life.
Responsible Influence
With public exposure and influence comes a degree of social responsibility to ensure you’re being true and honest with those that follow.
What started as an action-packed childhood chasing thrills has evolved into a full blown driving obsession, race it/break it/fix it yourself lifestyle and uncensored public adventure which must be managed with integrity and authenticity.
Abbey Kay Racing will be a leader of the revolution to a more diverse industry, inspiring the next generation of motoring by simply keeping it real - one beautiful mistake at a time.
A Future Without Walls
While it is a ripe time to capitalise on the rich trend of women in motorsport, Abbey Kay Racing plans to utilise her presence in the sport to move this away from a trend and into a ‘new normal’ outside of any bias.
This idealistic future is a world where drivers are known for their pure talent, integrity and dedication, creating an equal playing field for all, regardless of gender, race, age, background, financial status or any other bias.
The big vision is Abbey Kay Academy, a travelling roadshow that will give individuals from across the globe and all walks of life the opportunity to fairly showcase and evolve their talent and merit.
“When the helmet goes on, we are equal.”
