21-year-old, female pro-driver going far

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm on 14 April 2023

Rianna O'Meara-Hunt has been racing cars for about two years, mainly in the US.

The former multiple kart racing championship winner recently turned GT4 class, but a new appointment will keep her at home a little more often now. She's the first woman pro-driver to work for Highlands Hampdens and Taupo Motorsport Parks.

Rianna hops off the Manfield Track in Palmerston North to talk to Charlotte about her exciting new job.
