If you\u2019ve got an adrenaline seeking mum who loves nothing more than to put the pedal to the metal, then look no further than a thrilling karting experience you can treat her to this Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
Give her a break from the morning school run as she gets behind the wheel of a high powered kart, in which she\u2019ll have the freedom to obtain her need for speed \u2013 with the aim of earning her place on the winner\u2019s podium!<\/p>\n
Still not enough to convince you that a karting experience is the perfect gift for Mother\u2019s Day? Then just look at some of these women who\u2019ve all proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the racing track.<\/p>\n
Sabine Schmitz<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
Known as \u2018The Queen of The Ring\u2019, German professional motor racing driver and TV personality Sabine Schmitz has achieved the ultimate feat of a 24 Hours win not once, but twice, at Nurburgring \u2013 one of the most notorious racing tracks in existence. If you think that your mum has what it takes to prove herself on the racing track, then following the example of Sabine won\u2019t be such a bad thing!<\/p>\n
Hell\u00e9 Nice<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
Writing her name in the history books as a pioneer of female motor racing, Hell\u00e9 Nice set the incredible land speed record for women driving way back in 1929 whilst in command of an Omega-Six. Further down the line, she was able to participate in five major Grand Prix tournaments in 1931 \u2013 all behind the wheel of a Bugatti Type-35C. A near-fatal accident and the war may have cut short her racing career, but that certainly didn\u2019t erase her lasting legacy.<\/p>\n
Courtney Force<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
Force by name, force by nature, Courtney Force won her first race at the Top Alcohol Dragster category at the young age of 21 back in 2009 \u2013 quite the achievement we must say! Just a few years later, she stormed to her first ever Funny Car (not quite as hilarious as the name suggests!) race \u2013 becoming the 3rd<\/sup> woman to do so and thus cementing her place amongst the Funny Car pros.<\/p>\n Jutta Kleinschmidt<\/b><\/p>\n \n Back in 2001, which seems like a lifetime ago now, Jutta Kleinschmidt was able to emerge victorious in an infamous annual rally raid which is widely regarded as the most difficult race in the world – The Dakar. Jutta was able to reach her peak from behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution \u2013 one of the most successful rally cars the Dakar race has ever known, having been the competition car to claim 12 successes between 1985 and 2007. Just a year on from her ultimate achievement, Jutta finished in 2nd<\/sup> place at the Dakar \u2013 once again proving she was still amongst the elite.<\/p>\n
