Ingeborg Stoll-Laforge (11 February 1930, Breinig - Stolberg (Rhineland), Germany – 24 August 1958) was a female German motorcycle racer.Stoll began competing as a female passenger in her father's NSU outfit in 1947.
She then joined sidecar driver Jacques Drion in 1952 and won the 1952 and 1954 French Sidecar Championships.
Stoll and Drion competed in the World Sidecar Championship events from 1952 to 1957.The re-introduction of the Sidecar TT race into the 1954 Isle of Man TT races was controversial as it was opposed by the motorcycle manufacturers and also for the inclusion of Inge Stoll as the first female competitor at an Isle of Man TT race.At the 1958 Czechoslovakian Grand Prix, a non-championship event, the Norton sidecar outfit of Stoll and Drion, while holding second place, left the road on a right-hand corner during the penultimate lap.
The machine hit a fence and overturned.
Stoll was killed instantly and Drion died after being admitted to hospital.
