Women tend to compete in rallies and "minor Championships because, much of the time, they have to either fund themselves or cannot raise enough sponsorship for "major" championships wich cost a sh**load of money to compete in. I have made the point several times in this thread - there are very few women to compete in Major championships and when they have they have invariably been unable to do the whole season and have had inferior equipment ... lets face it, you are not going to win the Tour de France on a Malvern Star!
However, I would consider a National Formula Ford Title as a "major" championship and you may want to google the result of the 1976 South African championship ...
