5 Years After Letting Them Drive, Saudi Arabia’s First Women-Only Rally Is Happening



It’s Saudi Arabia’s first-ever women-only motorsport event, and it has attracted a global crowd, including Rebelle Rally veteran and US citizen Sedona Blinson. The Rebelle Rally, for the record, was the main inspiration for this event.

“Taking part in Rally Jameel, for me, is an incredible way to support women who are new to the scene of off-roading and motorsports. I am most looking forward to competing with an array of international teams and navigating the beautiful deserts of Saudi Arabia. My goal is to inspire more women to try their hand in motorsports and embrace new adventures,” said Blinson.

The Rally Jameel will run from 17-18 March during International Women’s History Month, which has already seen Mini celebrating female rally drivers Pat Moss and Ann Wisdom with a new special edition.
