A major motorsports tour featuring women drivers from around the world is set to kick off in Charleston, marking the start of a multi-city run across the Southeast.

The 2026 U.S. Car Tour will bring participants through several cities before concluding in Miami during the Formula 1 weekend. Organizers say the event aims to combine high-performance driving with philanthropy.

The tour is partnering with Impact Charleston, a local nonprofit focused on mentorship and educational opportunities for underserved youth.

“I wanted to make a difference and I wanted to get these women from all around the world together doing something good and giving back,” said Julie Brangstrup, CEO of Cash and Rocket, one of the organizations behind the tour.

The event will make a stop in downtown Charleston, where the cars will be on display along Tobacco Road. Organizers say the showcase will give the public a chance to see the vehicles up close before the tour officially gets underway.

The tour highlights the growing presence of women in motorsports while raising awareness and support for community initiatives across the region.
