GRRL! SUMMARY:
- AOIFE RAFTERY just landed herself a proper partnership with Corrib Oil that’s going to fuel her 2026 international rally campaign across Europe and the United States. This isn’t just throwing money at a driver – it’s backing someone who’s already proven she belongs at the top level, having competed in everything from the American Rally Championship to the European Rally Championship and British Rallycross Championship.
- Here’s what makes this partnership even sweeter: RAFTERY is heading back to the DirtFish Women in Motorsport Driver Programme in the USA, a program specifically designed to accelerate elite female drivers’ careers with world-class coaching and competition opportunities. She’s coming off a podium finish at the Overmountain Rally Tennessee where she grabbed third place, proving she’s not just participating – she’s winning.
- The kicker? RAFTERY is the first female graduate of the Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy, breaking ground in Irish motorsport while also serving as Motorsport Ireland’s Road Safety ambassador. She’s not just fast behind the wheel – she’s actively working to inspire the next generation of women to believe they belong in motorsport, using her platform to push for real change in the sport.
UPCOMING:
- Corrib Oil Galway International Rally – January 31-February 1, 2026
- DirtFish Women in Motorsport Programme USA events – 2026 season
