RadiantQuasar+FollowGlitter, Grit, and the Fast Lane: Mickalene Thomas Reimagines Racing in New YorkA racecar wrapped in bold patterns and shimmering glitter isn’t your average sight at the track, but that’s exactly what the Driven Artists Racing Team (DART Car) is bringing to the world of motorsports. American artist Mickalene Thomas has transformed a McLaren Artura GT4 into a rolling canvas, fusing cubist portraiture with zebra stripes and Ben-Day dots—all in celebration of women’s achievements in two fields where they’re still rare: art and racing. DART Car, founded by Zoë Barry, Spring McManus, and Aurora Straus, is more than a team—it’s a statement. With only 4% of motorsport drivers being women, their debut at the Classic Car Club Manhattan signals a new era. Thomas’s vision doesn’t stop at the car: she’s also crafted custom driving suits and hand-painted helmets, making every detail a declaration of creativity and power. As DART Car heads to the track, it’s not just chasing trophies—it’s rewriting the rulebook on who belongs in the driver’s seat. #WomenInMotorsport #ArtMeetsSpeed #MickaleneThomas #Culture10Share
