Chris Wilson Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Was asked this in the pub yesterday, and wasn't sure of the answer, but I *THINK* Katherine Legge has to be the winner? She's a winner in my book, although no conventional WAG type "beauty" she does have class and is undeniably a very brave young woman who can hold a decent converation, too. I saw her run in one of my old series (BARC Monoposto Championship) and she was able to make the boys look daft at times. The *BIG* crash at Road America in Champ Cars would be enough to put most people off, but she's now in DTM and not turning too shabby lap times. and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZV-_dcaFos&feature=related So, is she our most successful female race drive currently racing?

Chris Wilson Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Is she British or a Yank though? Just looked, as I thought, born in Wisconsin, and a bit vulgar to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't exactly been running at the front of field, but she definitely is press-friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Katherine Legge gets my vote also. Watched her race the DTM at Brands Hatch last year and she wasnt far off the pace of di resta and co... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't exactly been running at the front of field, but she definitely is press-friendly Didn't she finish 5th at Indy the other weekend? Definitely easy on the eye.

She hasn't exactly been running at the front of field, but she definitely is press-friendly Oh, she's no slouch, don't get me wrong, but she seems a bit indecisive as to where her career is going, mild porn star or race driver. She needs to decide quickly, age is friendly to neither pursuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 After watching this video, I couldn't help but think she looks remarkably like Jakki Brambles of Radio 1 and Loose Women fame. a3t6f2YdfB4&NR=1 She seems like a very nice lady indeed.

Chris Wilson Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I know he has Swiss nationality, and lives in Bahrain (or certainly he did live there for "tax reasons"), but he looks like an Arab, and so does his cousin, what's his background?
