Female Saudi racer, Aseel Al Hamad, together with Jaguar celebrate the end of the ban on women driving in the Kingdom with a lap of honor in a Jaguar F-Type. Aseel, the first female board member of the Saudi Arabian Motor Federation, had never had the opportunity to drive on a track in her home country before.
Joining forces, Jaguar and Aseel Al Hamad, call to mark June 24th as World Driving Day – a day when the whole world can enjoy the thrill of being behind the wheel of a car. By creating World Driving Day, Jaguar urges people to remember this historic day and what it means to women, to Saudi Arabia and to world progress in general.
“Having loved cars since I was a child, today is highly emotional for me. This is the best driving moment of my life. What better way to kick off World Driving Day than a lap of honor in my home country in a Jaguar F-TYPE?”, asked Aseel Al Hamadi.
