Title says 'current motorsport' and no mention of Aoife Raftery?

Rallying is always forgotten in conversations such as this and there's many more like Aoife looking for funding and opportunities to take their rallying career further.
Good to see she's doing well in the American championship this year

I see that Lia Block has gone back to Rallying in the U.S.
Two years in single-seaters in the F1 Academy series won’t have done her racing knowledge any harm, but with her family background and resources maybe she will become a future female star in Rally.

Emma Gilmour still going well in NZ national rallying too (after a stint in extreme-e), 3rd overall at Otago Rally a couple of weeks ago.

Of course there are heaps of female co-drivers at high levels too, though not many in WRC - maybe just Enni Malkonen at the moment?
