The top 10 female racers of all time
My original list of the top female race and rally drivers featured competitors from around the globe, including some unsung heroines and historical pioneers. However, analyzing the statistical data revealed a different perspective, showcasing the significant success of women in motorsport over the years. These exceptional drivers excelled in their craft, with a notable European influence and a strong presence in the 1970s. Unlike today’s young talents, many reached their peak later in life and found success in sportscars and rally racing. While there are only 10 spots on this list, the strength and diversity of female achievement in motorsport are evident. Verney, a Le Mans regular in the 1970s and 1980s, and Fontaine, the 1969 Belgian Saloon Car champion, are among the remarkable women who have left a lasting impact in the world of racing.
