Ms Yassmien Abdel-Majied loves fast cars. A fourth year engineering student at the the University of Queensland, this young Australian woman became besotted with fast cars while watching a movie six years ago. Ferrari's are her favourite but any fast car will do.
"I just became enamoured with these beautiful machines, the capacity they have. It's just fantastic," Ms Abdel-Magied says.
At only 19 years of age, Yassmien already has a string of acheivements behind her: at 16 she enrolled in university and founded Youth without Borders, she coaces a Muslim girls football team called " Shinpads and Hijabs", and to to top it al off she's been awarded Young Queenslander of the Year 2010.
After earning her engineering degree she hopes to enter formula 1 as the first female, Muslim driver.
