Indian oil sponsored the first ONLY LADIES RALLY in the 1970s. Interestingly nearly 150 ladies registered for it. (This is 4 per car). There was also a first time rally for ladies very soon from Madras to Pondy. This again saw a record number of entries. We now have the popular Duchess Club Rally and other exclusive rallies for women. Some of the novices have become real professional these days!
