Did you know women were driving cars before they had the right to vote? The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run isn’t just the world’s oldest car rally—it’s a historic symbol of how women used motoring to challenge social norms and claim independence. From pre-1905 vintage cars to today’s growing number of female drivers, this is the story of how the road became a place of freedom and equality.
