Three aspiring female rally drivers have won an opportunity to compete in the World Rally Championship
The World Rally Championship has selected the three female drivers from its inaugural women’s driver development programme that will receive a fully-funded drive at the Central European Rally. Lyssia Baudet , Claire Schonborn , and Suvi Jyrkiainen were chosen from a group of 15 finalists that had been whittled down from an array of applications from across the world. They will now pilot an M-Sport-built Ford Fiesta Rally3 in the penultimate round of the WRC season from 17-20 October.
” Former circuit racer turned rally driver, Baudet added: 'It's amazing, I feel like I am in a dream but I know that it is only the start of the adventure and I have a lot of work to do, but I am ready for this and I am very thankful.” “I would like to congratulate the other candidates, the level was very high. It’s been an amazing opportunity for us all.” “I was happy with my driving throughout the days but I wasn’t sure if the other things were enough but I am really happy.
