The Grid Girls vied with more than 500 other ladies at the start of the competition and faced stiff competition from contestants of various backgrounds. Throughout the six months of the competition leading up to the finals, they were put through various challenges such as tests of their F1 knowledge and pitting their skills against one another on the SingTel simulator.
