“British Rally Drivers at Anti-Skid School”

Two of Britain’s top women ralley drivers Miss Pat Moss (centre) and Miss Ann Wisdom discuss the way to correct a “skid” with Captain MacKenzie at Britain’s first anti-skid school at Wolvey, Leicestershire.  The two women drivers were taking a course at the school together with other drivers in the British Motor Corporation team which is taking part in the 1960 Monte Carlo Rally.

The course at the school included instruction on how to skid properly with safety, which will prove valuable to the rally drivers when they encounter snow and ice on the testing Monte Carlo run this month.

Miss Moss and Miss Wisdom will be driving an Austin A 40 in the Monte Carlo Rally, while the other six entries of the British Motor Corporation will be the new “baby” cars – three Austin Sevens and three Morris Mini-Minors.   The Austin cars will start from Oslo and the Morris Group from Paris.  Privately entered BMC cars will also start from Glasgow and Warsaw.
