Women these days are having more fun with cars. The first of its kind, a women’s driving event was conducted in the country. It was of course shocking to know that this was the first time women are having such an affair but yes a sigh of relief that it has at least happened now. Women were driving their Lamborghini and Bentley cars and seeing the beauties drive the marvel from the world of technology and machines was a really amazing sight. Not only are women indulged in fun driving, they are also getting ready to drive for a cause. There will be a women’s rally conducted for breast cancer awareness. This rally is conducted by the forum for Breast Cancer Protection so that they could raise fund for the cancer patients and will also generate awareness about breast cancer prevention. The rally that will start from Delhi on October 2, 2009 from Delhi will end at Agra. This makes us think what all were the notions that were alive in the motor world once upon a time about how women can never make good drivers; of course by giving it a second thought, whether the phrase ‘once upon a time’ suits the context as what you have just read is not a past or lost thought but is still living in the minds of many. But the days have changed at least for a few who will be later marked the pioneers in asserting the budding thought more serious driving by women. Labels: Bentley, Car-Rally, Lamborghini

Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari has been trapped by the car rallying bug and is all set for another annual rally after an impressive debut performance in Arctic Lapland Rally. Another car rally that Raikkonen is to participate is the Rally della Marca alongside co-driver Kaj Lindstrom. The young boy is very excited about the rally as this would be his first experience of rallying on the tarmac. He also feels thankful to Scuderia for giving him a golden opportunity to participate in this adventurous rally. Scuderia is a division of Ferrari automobile that mainly looks after racing sports. The 2007 Formula One World Champion entered two rounds of the Finnish Rally Championship in the winter with the Tommi Makinen-prepared racing car, the Fiat Abarth Grande Punto S2000. Raikkonen will use the same car for the 26th Rally della Marca. He wonders what magic he will do behind the wheel of the Grande Punto but still has high hopes to win the competition.
