I hope she gets her sponsorship goals and develops as a driver. Looking at her website she's obviously as committed as any young rally driver and she doesn't seem to have unlimited family funds to develop with. She may never be a champ (although so early in one's career there's no point predicting failure either) but I think rallying would be a more interesting sport if there were more women like her competing. Even if it turns out they are not Loeb.

I don't only watch and read about rally to obsess over minuscule differences of the finest drivers in the world at the top level - while that is fun, I also enjoy following lower championships and competitions which have some other interesting aspects; the cars/spec, the locations, the level of competition at a lower budget, and indeed the drivers themselves. Many people who show up or volunteer for regional events, watch or generate coverage of local competitions, etc. are probably like me.
