You
mightn’t recognise the name, but Rosemary Smith is without a doubt one of the
most important people in the history of motorsport.
Having originally trained
as a dressmaker, Rosemary stumbled into the world of rallying in the mid-1960s
and went on to win some of the most iconic top-flight rallies on earth in an
era when women were more likely to be seen draped over the bonnet of a car than
behind the wheel.
Watch the remarkable film below as, at 79 years old, the
Dublin-born driver who still rallies to this day has defied the odds once again
to become the oldest person to get in the cockpit of a Renault sport Formula
One car.
