 ::) Who is the first female driver who run Le Mans ?
Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

There were two, in 1930:
Mme Marguerite Mareuse, and Mme Odette Siko. I think Mme Mareuse started the race - it was her own car!

They shared a Bugatti T40, and came 7th, covering 2607.661 km, against the winning Barnato/Kidston Bently Speed Six ("Old Nunber One)'s 2930.663km.
