The FIA recently established a new commission to facilitate the full participation of women in all aspects of motor sport. The Women & Motor Sport Commission (WMC) held its first meeting in April this year under the Presidency of former world rally winning driver, Michèle Mouton.
Subsequent to this, the FIA “Women & Motor Sport Commission” has created a Rally steering Committee which recommends drivers to form part of the current Pirelli Star Shootout each year. The Rally Shootout gives 18 young rally crews from around the world the chance to participate in the shootout, but only six crews will be selected and will be part of the 2011 WRC Academy
