<strong>AUTO</strong>+WOMEN IN MOTOR SPORT<br />
Welcome to this latest edition of the FIA’s<br />
<strong>AUTO</strong>+ Women in Motorsport newsletter.<br />
In this edition we mark the achievements of the<br />
women involved in one of the Commission’s<br />
most recent initiatives - the Sealine Cross<br />
Country Rally Selection.<br />
Last year the Commission, in partnership with<br />
the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation,<br />
launched a search for new rallying talent,<br />
offering the prize of a fully-funded drive at the<br />
Sealine Rally to the best crew. In the end the<br />
level was so high that three crews were chosen<br />
and after a tough pre-event training schedule<br />
the women finally tested their mettle on the<br />
gruelling Sealine Cross Country Rally. You can<br />
read about their adventures in our cover story.<br />
Elsewhere, we focus on two drivers receiving<br />
commission support in 2016. First, we look at<br />
the exploits of Shion Tsujimoto in the CIK-FIA<br />
Karting Academy Trophy and later we hear<br />
from the Commission’s first US racer, Ashley<br />
Freiburg, who is making waves in the world of<br />
Stateside sportscar racing.<br />
Finally, we celebrate some great starts to the<br />
season with Lucile Cypriano, who finished on<br />
the podium at the season opening round of the<br />
SEAT Leon Eurocup, and with Peugeot works<br />
rally co-driver Lara Vanneste who recently won<br />
in the German Rally Championship.<br />
We hope you enjoy this issue.<br />
