Desiré Wilson
Desiré Wilson has had a fantastic career in motorsports, and is famous for being the most accomplished of all the female drivers who have taken part in any form of motorsports so far. Of the various female drivers that have taken part in the sport, she is the only one that could get a licence to drive in the CARTS Indycars and she also has an FIA Super Licence as well.
Because of the Super Licence, she was able to take part in the Formula One World Championships. Unfortunately, for both the sport and her, she only entered one race, the 1980 British Grand Prix, but failed to qualify. It was not entirely her fault though, as the car she was given was very inferior to the rest of the field, a car that she had repeatedly beaten in lower Formula Series. She did get another chance in the South African GP, but it wasn’t an official race, due to a dispute between FISA and FOCA.
