Zoe Woods

At just 23, Zoe Woods is one of Australia’s brightest rising talents in motorsport. Starting in karting and earning her race craft the hard way through Australian Production Cars, Zoe stepped onto the national stage in 2023 with the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia 86 Series, running with Gold Coast outfit TekworkX Motorsport.

Level up? Delivered. In 2024 she doubled her seat time contesting both the Toyota 86 Series and the Monochrome GT4 Australia Championship switching between 86 series battles and the precision of a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport. The year was a grind of travel, data, late nights, and learning curves… and it paid off. Zoe scored a breakthrough podium at Sydney Motorsport Park and etched her name in the record books as the first woman to win a GT4 Australia Pro-Am race and the first to be on the outright podium. 

Now 2025 is already off to a flyer: an early season podium in New Zealand has set the tone, and Zoe’s chasing bigger results as the championship charge builds.

When she’s not strapped in, you’ll find her coaching at Norwell Motorplex, working with Girls on Track initiatives, or speaking to young women about confidence, resilience, and taking up space in male-dominated arenas.

And somehow, she does it all while running her award-winning Gold Coast beauty salon, Lulu Lashes and Beauty where she specialises in lashes, brows, and training the next generation of lash techs. It’s the perfect balance of horsepower and high-glamour… and Zoe wouldn’t have it any other way.
