ULTIMATE GOAL To be the 1st female to become World Rally Champion\\Louise Cook made history in 2012 becoming the FIA Production car Cup for Drivers of 2WD Champion and importantly becoming the first female to lift an FIA Rally Championship Title not specifically made for women.\\Louise got her first taste of driving when her late father, Robert Cook, bought her a battery powered car on her 6th birthday. Louise and her pet rabbit would drive round for hours until the battery went flat. Louise wrote off the conservatory window twice, 2 garden fences and took the front axle clean off!\\Louise's first taste of rally driving was at 19 whilst studying Car Design at Coventry University. Louise saw a competition advertised to encourage more women into Rallying. Louise entered and found herself with an amazing 2nd place out of 1000 women, with no previous motorsport experience. This gave Louise the confidence to gain her rally licence and enter her first ever rally thanks to her student loan.\\Louise, desperate to finance a way of starting a career in rallying came up with an idea. Louise sold small spaces on her rally car with raffle prizes for larger spaces for each rally. Daily walking around local industrial estates and door knocking Louise managed to get 300 companies to sponsor her £50 enough to get her first season and career under way in 2010.\\Large sacrifices had to be made; Louise had to sell her much loved Ford StreetKa road car to get to the first round, she gave up her security of full time job to commit fully and most recently sold her trophies on ebay all to fund her career.
