Top New Zealand rally driver Emma Gilmour has come back from a bad accident in Europe to take an overall third place in this year's New Zealand Rally Championship, which wrappped up in Whangārei this month.
She's New Zealand's fastest female racer and one of the best in the world.
In 2016 she was the first woman to win a round of the NZ Rally Championship.
Two years ago she made history when she became McLaren Racing's first-ever female racing driver, making a spectacular debut season in the Extreme E all electric series.
A crash in Sardinia ended that dream, but she's back home, and happy to be back behind the wheel.
