If sources can be found (books? almanacs?) confirming her role, I can change my view.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:44, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

• Keep Given the era, it was pretty remarkable for women to be auto racing. The article needs work and sources, but I think that GNG is met. In addition to the above, I found [http://www.motoring.com.au/mini-returns-to-bathurst-1927/ this], [http://uniquecarsandparts.com/bathurst_1967.htm a brief mention], a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1dzbxCZ-_o video], and the following news stories from the time: [https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=19670924&id=Ef1jAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JOcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1757,8698083&hl=en], [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/120721012/], [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/125535791/] (subscription required to view the last two, but her name was in the Google snippet).

• Weak Keep, if it was the first all-woman team, I'm actually surprised at the scarcity of coverage, even in newspapers from the time. I was able to find a few brief mentions in addition to what User:Montanabw identified, and I think there's probably enough here. When I'm at work on Wednesday I'll dig into the archives of the SMH if I have time and have a closer look at those articles. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC).
