If successful, she would become the first woman who accomplish this kind of challenge in China, the organizing committee for the Festival told Xinhua Monday. Li, a native of Changchun, capital of Jilin province in northeast China, has registered professional competitor of China Auto Sports Federation and won 22 championships in the China Rally, China Ice-snow Short-track Rally, the Championship of China-Russia Rally and others competitions.
