Enni Mälkönen (born 25 September 1990)[1] is a Finnish rally co-driver. She won the World Rally Championship-3 co-drivers' championship in 2022.
Career
Mälkönen won WRC3 co-drivers' championship in 2022, making her the first woman to do so.[2] The two top drivers in the class (Lauri Joona and Jan Černý) changed co-drivers during the season, while Mälkönen continued as Sami Pajari's co-driver throughout the season. Previously, no woman had won the championship in any WRC class.[2]
Mälkönen previously competed in show jumping, but after her horse was injured, she decided to take up rallying. Mälkönen's father was also a rally driver. Mälkönen herself made her debut in 2012. AKK-Motorsport organized coaching, in which she participated in the entrance exams.[clarification needed][2]
