In need of some motivation this rainy Thursday to get you through to the weekend? Check out this video below:
You might not 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 hood of a car than behind the wheel. Watch the remarkable film 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 and living a lifelong dream.
Enjoy your Friday tomorrow everyone!
