WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONE FOOT FIRMLY ON THE ACCELERATOR, MOTORSPORT CHAMPION MOLLY TAYLOR CONTINUES TO LIVE LIFE IN THE FAST LANE – WITH NO SIGN OF HITTING THE BRAKES..

Molly Taylor is one of Australia’s most accomplished and recognisable motorsport figures, with a career spanning international rallying, electric off-road racing and broadcast media. Her accolades include the FIA Extreme H World Cup, Extreme E Championship, Australian Rally Championship, European Ladies Championship and the Peter Brock Medal.

A barrier-breaker in a male-dominated sport, she was the first woman to claim a podium in the Junior World Rally Championship and became both the first female and youngest-ever winner of the Australian Rally Championship. She later became the first Australian woman to compete in the Dakar Rally, one of motorsport’s toughest endurance events.

Her determination has underpinned her entire career. At 20 she left university, moved to the UK and worked on her own rally car because she couldn’t afford a mechanic – going on to win the Suzuki Swift Sport Cup, claim two British Ladies titles and earn selection in the Pirelli Star Driver WRC Scholarship.

In 2021 she won the inaugural Extreme E Championship, and across all five seasons she stands as the most successful female driver in the series, holding the record for the most race victories.

Now racing in Extreme H, Molly continues to push the sport forward; securing a landmark race win in 2025, the first in the category’s history, and establishing herself as a frontrunner in the future of hydrogen-powered motorsport.

Domestically her profile continues to rise through her work as a Supercars pit lane reporter and she has experience working as a motorsport commentator across Seven, Fox Sports, Stan and international broadcasts, where she is known for her clarity, insight and strong rapport with drivers.

Outside the car, Molly co-leads MaD Garage, a rapidly growing digital platform focused on motorsport, builds and adventure storytelling. In 2025 she achieved breakout YouTube growth with multi-million-view content and long-form project series. She is also the creator and central figure of Drive Like a Girl, a documentary developed by her and her team to tell her story and champion women in motorsport.
