My story
My name is Marcella Assumpção, I'm 12 years old and I'm a professional karting driver. My passion began in 2019, during a visit to a circuit with my family. From my first lap, I knew I had found my place. Since then, I've never let go of the wheel, even when I had to take a break due to an autoimmune disease and after a big accident.
Every challenge has made me stronger. Today, I fight on the track in every race, often as the only girl in my category, to show that girls have just as much a place in motorsport as boys.
My dream : to become a driver in the biggest categories of motorsport and to inspire other young girls to believe in themselves, as I believe in myself.
