First victory for a women in the off-road truck racing ever.
Isabel Jacinto, from Portugal, is a part-time truck race driver and a high school geography teacher, and she won the AMV Shamrock event in Morroco last saturday. She races for Renault with a Kerax Rally Raid truck. Before this she was in the motorcycle category, having done several times the Dakar, although last year already with a truck, being the first woman to finish in that category ever.
Its her first ever, overall victory, because all the others were in the womens categories. Next event is the Lisbon-Dakar 2006 race in December.
