Overview

• Merete Buljo and Tonje Thoresen, friends from Norway, are competing in the five-day Princesses Rally from Paris to the Mediterranean.
• Thoresen, who lost her sight to a brain tumor, navigates using her internal clock, while Buljo, who has rheumatoid arthritis, drives with a modern automatic car after their vintage vehicle broke down.
• The rally prohibits GPS navigation and requires cars built between 1946 and 1991, but organizers allowed the duo to participate as passengers with their replacement car under the name Team Valkyries.
• The pair adopted the motto 'Making the impossible possible!' to inspire others and challenge stigma surrounding disabilities.
• Their participation highlights empowerment in motorsport, with Thoresen emphasizing the importance of embracing one's abilities and daring to take on challenges.
