Nati Torra - International Women of RC

Today we're in Spain with off road racer Nati Torra and some memories of RC from the 1990's
Hi Nati, how did you get started in RC?
Thanks to my dad and my brother I started in RC, with my dad as mechanic and my brother as pilot. One day I tried my brother's car and the next day my dad prepared one for me!

Racing cars is traditionally a male dominated activity - did you find RC a welcoming environment to join?
Yes, it is a Man's world, even more so when I started in the 90s, imagine... we had cameras with film and there were no mobile phones! Times change and I definitely encourage all women to try it out. guaranteed pure adrenaline!


Would you like to see more women in the sport?
Women fight to make our way into all sports and sometimes must make a bigger effort just for being women.

Finally, as it's International Women's Day. Tell us a woman you look up to...
I admire all women that fight everyday for equality, one beside to the other, no more and no less.
