ON TRACK TO WIN: THE CARMEN JORDA STORY
$21.95
From a young age while growing up in Spain, Carmen Jorda had a love for cars and racing that set her apart from the other girls, and she dreamed of becoming a Formula One race car driver. But as she grew older and her ambitions grew, she encountered those who doubted whether girls should be allowed to race. Undeterred by skepticism and with the support of her beloved Papi, Carmen courageously dove into the world of racing where she trained tirelessly to achieve her dreams of getting behind the wheel of a Formula One race car.
On Track to Win shows young readers that through persistence, hard work, and the support of family, no barriers will stand in their way while chasing their dreams.
