There have always been women in the driver's seat. A group of sports-car owners in the L.A. area is working on making them more visible.
From the January 2024 issue of Car and Driver.We turned a lot of heads as we snaked up Highway 1, California's peachy afternoon light glinting off starkly angled windshields and glossy carbon-fiber wings. Even along Malibu's lapis-blue coast, where exotic cars make up a good portion of the weekend traffic, our parade of rumbling bulls, prancing horses, and stylized kiwi birds was noteworthy, but less for the cars than for the drivers.
When we get together, we admire new rides, compare notes on recent test drives and good mountain roads, catch up on motorsports gossip, and sympathize over parts delays and misbehaving machinery. While some in this accidental club had an encouraging parental figure at the beginning of their automotive journey, many of the supercar ladies came to cars later, marking the start of a new life after a divorce, a career change, or an empty house once children headed off to school.
