Saudi Arabia’s first female rally racers
After Saudi Arabia lifted the ban on female drivers in 2018, two Saudi women are expected to make history. The first Saudi women to participate in an international rally are Mashael Alobaidan and Dania Akeel.
Mashael Alobaiden had previously stated “This message is directed not only at girls but also at boys, as well as everyone else in the world, every human being: if you love anything, go for it. If you run into roadblocks, just keep pushing until you can do what you want and enjoy life.”
