The e-mail that could transform a young American’s career

Madelyn Tabor woke up one morning to a message that may end up changing her entire life trajectory.

“I woke up to the email and I was like, look at this! Like half awake. I was like, ‘oh my god!’” Tabor tells DirtFish.

Tabor, a regular competitor in the American Rally Association National championship’s NA4WD category in a 1999 Subaru Impreza, had elected to apply for the World Rally Championship’s Beyond Rally initiative, which aims to turbocharge the rise of aspiring female rally drivers towards global success.

A total of 15 drivers have been selected to attend a training camp at M-Sport Poland headquarters, where three candidates will be chosen to compete on this year’s Central European Rally. And one of those three will compete in next year’s Junior WRC season.
