Well maybe this happened on more than one occassion. The one I remember was between 1984 and 1990 an all women driver line up in a Lancia beta saloon the whole thing being run , managed and trained by Ian Taylor Racing. I do feel fairly confident it was a Lancia as I was there and remember thinking they started with a handicap because the car was uncompetitive to start with, but I guess they got the car from commercial/advertising reasons.
Now maybe something similar happened on another 24 hr race there with a Honda ?? Are you thinking of Carolyn Grant-Sale who did the race on more than one occassion. Susan Tucker-Peake may have done the race at some time too. We really need a full entry list over a period of years to sort it out.I think you are definitely right about the Charity aspect.
