Saudi Arabian driver Reema Al Juffali has become a trend-setter and broken barriers in her country.

In October 2018, 26-year-old Reema became the first Saudi woman to earn a racer’s licence and participate in competitive racing. She will very soon compete in the final round of the MRF Challenge.

This came on the heels of removing a ban on women’s driving in Saudi Arabia. Prior to this in June 2018, the Saudi government gave women the legal rights to drive.
