1Car racing is a very exciting and popular sport. But how many
women racing car drivers can you name? Probably not very many! On 7
May 1997, some women racing car driving were invited to Washington.
People in Washington wanted to honour them because they were
pioneers for women in car racing. One of the women was Janet
Guthrie. Janet was one of the first women racing car drivers in the
world. She was also very successful.
Slide 20
2Janet Guthrie was born in Iowa, USA, in 1938. She studied
physics at university then became a pilot and an engineer. In 1960
she even tried to become an astronaut. But her dream was to become
a racing car driver. Because she was a woman, it was very
difficult. At that time, most people thought that only men could be
racing car drivers. So Janet started building and racing her own
cars. By 1972, she had given up her other jobs. She was a racing
car driver!
Slide 21
3However, Janet couldnt drive in big races. Nobody would let
her drive because she was a woman. Then in 1976, she was invited to
drive a car in an important race, the Indianapolis 500. She drove
very well. After that, Janet became the first woman to drive in
many famous races. Janet drove in her last important race in 1979.
When she stopped racing, her helmet and racing suit were put into a
museum.
