Kathy Rude (born 1957) is an American sports car driver who was one of the first female drivers to attract international attention. Growing up in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, she began competing as a teenager in karting events. By her early 20s, after competing in Formula Ford and IMSA, she attracted the attention of several top-tier car owners. She was a member of the Mazda and the original North American Toyota factory-sponsored IMSA GT Championship teams. In February 1982, co-driving a factory-sponsored Mazda RX-7 with Allan Moffat and Lee Mueller, she earned a GTU class victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona. During an IMSA sports car event at Brainerd, Minnesota in July 1983, she suffered horrific injuries in a crash which ended her racing career. Noted sports car champion Brian Redman once referred to her as the only female driver he'd encountered who posed a genuine threat to win major professional automobile races. She is now a corporate safe driving instructor and speaker.
