"It’s really a product of sheer frustration or rather a constructive frustration because you know you get frustrated, sometimes nothing comes out of it, right? But in this case, I was frustrated because women were overlooked in this automotive scene. And I thought, someone has to do something about it and to bring in more women and to drive the change."

"What we want to do really is to normalize women and supercars. We don’t want people, we want people to stop thinking there’s always a man because they see a woman with a supercar; either a husband, a partner, a sugar daddy, whatever it is."

"We do not need permission to drive, or to choose what kind of cars we drive. We do not need permission to have this passion, to go out and enjoy it, from anybody. If the brands are ready to put experiences for us, fantastic. If they are not, we make our own events. We do not wait for a seat at the table. If the seat is not available, we create the table and we all sit with nobody’s approval."

STORYLINE:
They socialized, shared stories and laughed together. Some are engineers, some are entrepreneurs, others are housewives. But these women all share a common passion: their love of supercars.
Dozens of women gathered over the weekend in Dubai to take part in a car rally across the United Arab Emirates.
The event was organized by the region’s first ever all-female supercar owners club, the Arabian Gazelles, and saw 30 women living in the UAE and abroad take part in a four-day tour of the country.
Arabian Gazelles was created eight years ago by Hanan Mazouzi Sobati as a way to give women a seat at the table in the automotive scene
"It’s really a product of sheer frustration … because women were overlooked in this automotive scene," Mazouzi Sobati said as she drove her Lamborghini on the road to Fujairah.
"I thought, someone has to do something about it and to bring in more women and to drive the change."
Her passion for cars goes back as far as she can remember.
While kids her age were watching cartoons, she says she was watching Formula 1.
And the passion for supercars has now become the driving force for something even bigger: changing people’s mentalities and perception over women and supercars.
She said brands wouldn’t support an all-woman car club at the start.
