Driver Ruth Bowler

Australian Brooke Leech, 17, is the first female to earn a spot in the CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motor Sport) Aussie Young Gun driver development program. She’s done well on the karting circuit and was tapped to move up and join the program.

Leech will compete in the Aussie Racing Car Series starting this weekend on Phillip Island.

Also racing in the series is Ruth Bowler, the only other female beside Leech in the series. Bowler is currently in 22nd place out of 38 drivers.
