Driving Day Gifts Website

There’s nothing like rally driving during the great British summer. Churning up dust rather than mud, it’s an excellent way to escape the doldrums of the rush hour traffic. Rally driving appeals to a surprising variety of people. You’ll find it’s not just those boy racers who feel a need for speed! In fact, there have been many amazing female rally drivers over the years.

Margaret Allen, for instance, is known as the original ‘Bentley’s Girl’. One of the greatest pre-war racers, she finished tenth in the 1932 Monte Carlo Rally when she lapped another rally driver at 97mph. In those days, this was pretty fast!                 Her most notable victory was in 1936 when she became one of four women to gain her Brooklands 120mph badge. Even when she was in her 80s, Margaret was out testing sports cars for Autocar magazine, and was once even so fast one photographer failed to capture her. As a result, the newspaper had to use less pictures than planned.

As long as your loved one has a full driving licence, they can get out on the track and live out those rally championship fantasies for real.
