Earlier this year, she became the first woman ever to win the famous Paris-Dakar Rally, driving a Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero. Approaching the final round in the UAE, she currently lies second in the series behind Jean-Louis Schlesser of France, just 17 points adrift. Klienschmidt will be joined by cross-country veterans Kenjiro Shinozuka of Japan, Hiroshi Msuoka, also from Japan, and French star Jean-Pierre Fontenay - all driving Pajero/Monteros.
Shinozuka, Matsuoka and Fontenay will compete in the newly established Open Class. This category has been established exclusively for the 2002 Dakar Rally which starts on December 28th, 2001.
