That suggests Mercedes had women of their factory race teams, back in the day. Which I doubt.

On the other hand there was Ines Keil-Folville who in the 1920s allegedly was the first professional woman race-driver. She raced Mercedes cars among other brands, competing with the great male drivers of the day and won four 24-hour races. I only found this German Wikipedia reference And there is also this dedicated website, also in German, but linking to an extensive photo album. Last edited by Scriveyn; 03-01-2016 at 12:20 PM.

Yes, I'd heard of Ines Keil-Folville, but don't know a lot about her career. She likely drove Mercedes from time to time, as did most of the pros of the era. However I've never heard of a woman driving for any of the Mercedes factory teams.

Early mechanical street sweepers discovered not all the horseshit comes from horses, especially during an election year.
