How wide can you consider "industry" ?
There have been many famous, strong and skilled women drivers in all levels of motorsport. BUT, there are few in the leadership and management of teams and companies. No point us giving you pointers to the former if you're going to be scored on the latter

just engineers and designers. any famous ones, and if you know about any in the high-performance companies/sectors, that would be the best. also, any info about the engine/performance specs on the volvo YCC?

There are quite a few women designers around, from what I have seen/ heard most of them appear to work on the interior side of things.
I couldn't help you out with any names though.

http://www.czechdesign.cz/index.php?...nek=168&lang=2 the group behind the Volvo MCC.
Have you checked Volvos sites - check different natinality ones to see if they feature the women in them. and http://4wheeldrive.about.com/library.../aa062101b.htm I might have some more in our intranet website. I'll check Monday A bit out of date now, but I think you'll get all the answers from 4 years ago here - http://www.autonews.com/page.cms?pageId=97 Will your tutor/teacher know any better ??

For me i think that there is basically only one woman that made a great change to motorsport
Michele Mouton, Sure she isnt the best lookin woman but hell there arent many women racers that are that good lookin

Need to get out more mate, there are a lot of very pretty women in motorsport. Along with the good looking guys like me
Galica Davinia from the F1 was 'prettier' than Michelle. Remember she had to throw a works Quattro around and beat the boys doing it. "muscular" http://www.audiurquattro.de/photos/mouton/mouton.htmHere she is in action on the '85 Scottish International Rally  Forgot about the quiz over in Matracien et Alpiniste's SIXTH and final set of 25 questions. and only relasised we never got beyond P. So if anyone knows a woman driver name starting with Q get on over and resurrect an old thread VBH roolz :drool:
