Leena Gade Swipes Another Victory at Le Mans


Being a part of SWE means taking pride in the success of fellow woman engineers. This month we take a look at Leena Gade. For those of you who haven't heard about Leena Gade, back in 2011 she became the first female engineer to win a race at Le Mans. Le Mans is the world's oldest active sports car race in endurance racing held in France. This race is considered to be one of the most prestigious automobile races and teams that enter must consider many mechanical factors to ensure that their car comes out on top.
Leena Gade has had a ton of success in the past three years. She recently snagged her third consecutive win at Le Mans as a part of the Audi racing team. Despite her success Gade was told that she would never make it as an engineer. This only fueled her desires. She worked hard to get to where she is today. She is living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.
