Twingo podium in 2014
The French rallycross championship has included a dedicated women’s trophy since 2014. It runs as part of the one-make Twingo R1 Rallycross Cup and is supported by Renault. A Coupe des Dames race is held at each championship meeting for women drivers only, in addition to the regular Twingo heats and final. Many of the Coupe des Dames drivers participate in both series and crossover is encouraged. Almost all of the women’s cup entry did both in 2019. A few women contest the main Twingo Cup and do not enter the Coupe des Dames.
The Twingo ladies’ cup followed the same format as the Citroen Challenge Feminin that existed between 2003 and 2006, although it obviously uses a different car. In 2021, it moved to being a separate championship. The winner receives a prize which allows her to run a full season in the Junior championship the following year.
