PROFILE

AGGIE FOSTER
International Rally Co-driver
Rallied in UK, Eire, Europe, Africa and Australia.

My interest in motorsport began by spectating at motorcycle and rallycross meetings at Cadwell Park, and events such as the RAC Rally. Spectating soon developed into marshalling. I have visited many race circuits as a certified flag marshal, and continue to travel all over the country to help with rally stage starts/finishes, or as radio operator.

I joined Lincoln Motor Cycle & Car Club and very quickly found I had an affinity with OS maps gaining recognition as a competent Road Rally Navigator and experienced my first taste of overseas motorsport in Northern Ireland in the Inter-Association Road Rally Challenge representing ANEMMC.

In 1991 I undertook the Peugeot Challenge. The Challenge provided an excellent co-driver training package and introduction to stage rallying, and enabled me to upgrade my licence to International status.

I have helped organise a Ladies Driving Challenge which raised £12,500 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

As a professional rally co-driver I endeavour to encourage and enable others to take part in motorsport by passing on my experience - particularly through co-driver tuition and mentoring. For a number of years I have organised and delivered Masterclass presentations (timing, navigation, road book, stage etiquette etc.) either giving private tuition, or tutoring groups of both novice and more experienced competitors.

I have been lucky enough to be able to compete for many years (modern and historic, clubman to international, Binbrook to Adelaide) and continue to derive much pleasure from my sport.

My ongoing involvement with the MSA's Women In Motorsport initiative and recent election as the British Women Racing Drivers' Club Rally Secretary has put on a more formal footing what I believe I have been practising for a number of years, namely providing both encouragement and information to females of all ages who have an interest in motorsport and may wish to become more involved.
