Two Ross Brawn designed cars were to play a big part in my racing career, both were formidable contenders and...
To be honest, I’ve had a lot of great racecars in my career and it’s very difficult to select just...
I truly believe a good car does not have to do only with good performances, but also its opportunities to be right on the money, even if you go sometimes a little away from the good changes. Of course, the big secret to any good car is the people who...
My early racing career started in single-seaters in New Zealand beginning first with Formula Atlantic, then Formula Three, and then...

I’m celebrating 25 years of motor racing, and I say this without counting the years I spent karting. It’s difficult to count those years toward my career as it was just something I did as a very young girl. During my motor racing years I have had the opportunity of...
I served my apprenticeship with Jaguar, initially working on the last models of the E-Type, then the XJS, the XJ6...
Although my passion and love of motor racing was born in Italy—at Monza during the 1969 Italian GP—my first real...
Racing Honda cars in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) is pretty special to me. I’ve won three BTCC titles and countless races with them. Of course, I hold my first British Touring Car Championship win quite close to my heart. It was at the wheel of the 2005 Integra...
Today, a great racecar has to be very powerful, have a great deal of downforce to give grip, and be...
There is no doubt in my mind that the Grand Prix Alfetta is the greatest racing car of all time....
Some may disagree with me, but I think a great racing car must be a winning car. Racing cars can look fantastic and nice, but if they don’t win races they’re no good. In my experience, I can completely rule out any of my Formula One cars. Unfortunately, I didn’t...
Many would assume that I would choose a Ferrari as my greatest racecar. However, although I know little about the...

My brief motor racing career started somewhat by accident. In 1954 I purchase a secondhand Aston Martin DB2/4 from Brooklands of Bond Street; the car came with a one-year membership to the Aston Martin Owner’s Club. Reading the AMOC booklet I noticed there was a race meeting at Snetterton in...

I’ve been fortunate to race Bentleys for 25 years. Indeed, most of my earliest memories involve sitting in the back...
Like many designers I like to push the envelope, so, when answering the question about my consideration of my greatest racecar I’d like to do the same—I’d like to choose a land speed record car. In my view, probably the most technically advanced car for its time was the Bluebird-Proteus...
I’ve been fortunate to have driven a lot of racecars, both those I’ve raced and those I’ve driven to try...
It’s always difficult to look back and decide what was your greatest race, circuit, moment, or any other of those...
When I consider the question of what is, in my opinion, the greatest racecar, I do not necessarily look at...
Personally, I have driven some really good machines. I had a 917 Porsche that I thought was a truly remarkable car, and a 962, too. The only Indy car I had wished I had been able to race was the turbine car, because it was so dominant when it ran....
While not the greatest racecar of all time, the Cooper 86B-Maserati was that for me, as it gave me a...
