Simone des Forest

Simone Louise de Pinet de Borde des Forest (born 7 March 1910 in Royan, died 25 November 2004 in Vichy) was a French racing driver. One of the first women to get a French driving licence in 1929, she raced successfully in the 1930s, notably in rallies and setting speed records. She largely retired from motorsport after World War II, but nonetheless entered the 1954 Pau Grand Prix. She failed to qualify.
