Based upon? the additional information you provided, here is a 25 word version:
When DNA testing reveals that a Black American is really descended from Australian aborigines, he abandons modern life to become a paleo-hunter in the Outback.
As someone who gets hung up on the credibility of story ideas, I find it completely credible? that an Australian Aborigine could “pass” or be mistaken for a Black in the United States.
This is a movie I want to see.? Very best wishes with your script.

The premise holds out the promise of a lot of interesting visuals.
But taking the logline at face value:? the 1st part? says she fulfills her dream by merely running? in the rally.? The stakes seem to be endurance, not victory.? And then the 2nd half says she’s? in a? (competitive) race, not a (social) rally.
So what is it, a rally or a race?? (Technically? a rally need not to be? a race.? In fact, most rallies are social events, bikers riding together for the love of the motorcycling, not competing against each other.)
And if she got injured while racing competitively, doesn’t that mean she was already racing against her boyfriend?? So what’s the problem?? If he helps her recover, doesn’t he realize he’s aiding and abetting her competing against him?
So why would it be a wedge issue in their relationship?? Particularly since plenty of racers remain friends even though they compete against each other.? If it does threaten their relationship, whose at fault?? Isn’t it the guy’s? for being an old-fashioned sexist pig?? So doesn’t that imply that if she owns the plot, he owns the character arc because he’s the one who needs to change his attitude?
Is the emotional engine driving the movie the relationship or the racing?

I agree mostly with Aidan except for the example logline they wrote. As per the formula, you start with the inciting incident. "After discovering a mysterious object..." etc. The other question is why? What is at stake? What pushes your main character to go on this journey and push this huge box?
