Popular Post Justgrazing Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 Very sad news .. immensely talented driver with an engaging , infectious personality off the track who did much to advance women's profile in the world of professional Motorsport and one of the few able to put Clarkson in his place as she did when exhorting him to go faster on that lap of the Nordschleife until he achieved a 9:59 .. before promptly loping 40 odd seconds off it herself in the same car with the T G film crew having to employ the services of a professional racing driver to keep up with her in their more powerful model .. her legendary lap in a Transit Van the following year to within 1 1 secs of J C's time made it one of the most viewed episodes of T G and cemented her reputation as an awesome driver .. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
