| Via No Pasaran, might be an old story: Laleh Seddigh is fast emerging as one of Iran's foremost race car drivers, leaving best of men racers behind. By Aresu Eqbali - TEHRAN When behind the wheel, Iranian women have to put up with all sorts of verbal abuse from the testosterone-charged types that dominate the Islamic republic's highways - such as being told to tend to a washing machine rather than a car. But Iran's women drivers, most of whom are clearly ill at ease navigating the anarchic road network, now have a national idol: a young woman nicknamed "Little Schumacher". Laleh Seddigh, 28, is fast emerging as one of Iran's foremost race car drivers, leaving the best of the men racers behind in her saloon car. --SNIP-- |
