how molly taylor became the first woman to win the australian rally car championship


Listen Later

Growing up Molly Taylor’s dream was to represent Australia in equestrian at the Olympics.  But oh how that all changed when she went to get her drivers' licence at age 16.


Her parents encouraged her to do a defensive driving course, and once she got in that car, the rest was history.


It was that moment that propelled Molly into motorsport, becoming the first and only woman to have won the Australian Rally Car Championship. She currently races in the International off-road racing series, Extreme E.


This week, Chloe sits down with Molly Taylor to chat about paving the way for more women to get involved in Motorsport from a younger age.

And what better time to catch up with Molly than a week out from the Race of Champions in Sydney on March 7 & 8 2025.


We hope you enjoy this episode and if you’re driving while listening, maybe don’t channel your inner Molly on your morning commute.
