For Noor Daoud, Palestinian motor racing is curbed by a host of fundamental deficits: no proper race tracks to practice or compete on, for starters. Rallies have to be held in impromptu open spaces in Jericho, Hebron, Jenin, Bethlehem and Ramallah. While the British Council did try to beef up the racing federation’s flagging BMW reserved for the women, the car was just too old to make competitive and, most importantly, bears yellow license plates. Only Israeli citizens or Jerusalem ID holders can drive it, which means only two Speed Sisters can legally race the team’s sole car.
