Salma Marwat Khan is proving women can rally in more ways than one. This emerging rally driver is currently the fastest female driver after her win at the Chakwal 4×4 off-road rally.<\/p>\n

Post-Aurat March 2019 Pakistan is not just about highlighting violence against women. It’s also about women who are proving they’re not backing down and here to explore every domain.<\/p>\n

These Pakistani women role models are breaking stereotypes and gradually making way for other women to follow their footsteps.<\/p>\n

While we acknowledge the Pakistani women that have paved the way for us to come so far, we also laud women that are breaking new ground, like Salma Marwat Khan.<\/p>\n

Salma wants to inspire other women to pursue motorsports (winning the Chakwal 4\u00d74 challenge off-road rally hits that aim).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

This wasn’t her first achievement, as this is her the fourth off-road title. She has participated in some eight different races.<\/p>\n

Four awards for eight rallies, thats some really good odds. She’s already making a mark on Pakistan\u2019s motorsports scene!<\/p>\n
