A university student is aiming to continue making progress in motorsport after returning to action just months after fracturing her spine.
University of Bath student Stephanie Hobeika enjoyed a podium finish in her car-racing debut at Brands Hatch in April after making the step up from karting.
The 22-year-old, who suffered the serious injury during a karting race in January, now has her sights set on competing in the global F1 Academy Championship, which aims to get more women into the top level of motorsport, next year.
"I think in a few years time I can see girls going much further in the sport," added Ms Hobeika.
