Italy
Nicoletta Deidda
I've loved cars since I was a little girl. I loved them more than dolls.
Later, when I went to high school, the Rally Costa Smeralda service park was set up in the parking lot right next to the school, and I'd head over from school to see the race cars.
I started rallying in 2013 as a co-driver, then made my debut as a driver in 2017 at the Rally del Vermentino, a very demanding gravel event. Still as a driver, I went on to do two more events, one of them the Rally Costa Smeralda. In the meantime, I kept switching between the two seats.
In 2025 my boyfriend, Nicola Fadda, and I bought a Citroën Saxo VTS, and with our friends at Officina Meccatronica Fabio Floris in Iglesias we built it up completely from scratch.
In 2025 I was back behind the wheel with "PinkPanter" and an all-female crew. Together with Ilaria Porcu, we won the Regional Championship (Sardinia Delegation) and the National Rally Cup Championship, Zone 10.
In 2026 I'm racing again to try to keep the title, and in November I'll compete in the Coppa Italia final in Tuscany. At last, Sardinia will have its first all-female crew in the national final.
