Adina Hotels is sponsoring rising Aussie motorsport sensation Aiva Anagnostiadis as she prepares to compete on the Misano World Circuit this weekend.
The race is part of the Italian GT4 Championship, one of Europe’s premier GT racing categories, which combines high-level competition across world-class circuits.
Born and raised in Melbourne, 18-year-old Aiva was the first Australian woman to compete in the all-female F1 Academy series and the first Australian woman to score points in the series (on debut in China).
This year, she continues her racing journey with the Promodrive team in the Italian GT4 Championship.
Her journey from karting prodigy to international racing driver is a true homegrown success story – one that echoes the Adina Hotels journey: Australian at heart, locally connected and making a mark on the world stage.
For the past four years, Adina has also supported grassroots hockey across Australia – championing opportunities for young athletes to thrive on and off the field.
“At Adina, we believe in backing Australians with big dreams – whether they’re chasing gold on the playing field or pushing the limits on a Formula 1 circuit,” said Katia Giurtalis, TFE Hotels Global Marketing Officer.
“Supporting athletes like Aiva is about championing the next generation of Australian talent and showing the world what’s possible when you combine local spirit with global ambition.”
The setting of this weekend’s race is particularly fitting for Adina – the first Australian hotel company to operate on mainland Europe.
“I’m incredibly proud to represent Australia and to have the support of Adina hotels,” Aiva said.
“As Aussies, we both know what it means to start at home and dream big. I also hope to inspire the next generation of Australian women to chase their ambitions – on the track or wherever their passion lies.”
