This week on CarStories we catch up with Head of Strategy and founder of DirtFish's Women in Motorsports program Josie Rimmer. When you think about rally, there is one destination that provides everything from up to date coverage to learning to drive sideways. We discuss why rally is such a noble form of motorsport. If you're in LA check out Legends of the Dirt, sponsored by Optima which features at least 3 cars that could be considered rally cars.
