Were those fingers real or rubber props for s
ts and giggles??
Everything on line I can find seems to suggest it's genuine !ts and giggles??it is a great doc. Watched it last night with the wife, even she held her interest in it all the way through.
A top line driver, I was lucky enough to see her compete on the 83 RAC, but didn't really know her back story.
I'd say it's almost better that she didn't win the title, it makes a better story, but how she managed to get through the Ivory Coast rally, the day after finding out her dad died is true courage.
Fabrizia was cool as well, and both Walter and Ari were a bit embarrassed by their younger selves and comments about lady drivers.
a very good documentary, worth a watch 10/10

Only had time to watch the first half, but found it a fascinating documentary and she comes across as very grounded. She must have had the skin of a rhino to rise above the brickbats and achieve what she did.
Did I once dream this, or did she put her car into a lake, which promptly sank, and her and her co-driver popped up gasping for breath about 30 seconds later?

Half dreaming - it was Louise Aitken-Walker., Did I once dream this, or did she put her car into a lake, which promptly sank, and her and her co-driver popped up gasping for breath about 30 seconds later?
Searched numerous times for that and just found it.

Also not to be confused with the 83 1000 lakes where the car was on fire and Hannu told her that she should drive it into a Lake. Searched numerous times for that and just found it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the programme, funny how things have changed and haven' changed.
She changed the perception of women race/rally driver s but there still isn't any females in top class rallying.
No sign of the second husband and mention of a partner on Wiki.
Fabrizia Pons seemed a lovely lady too, still co-driving apparently. Any relation to Sito, Edgar or Axel Pons I wonder?

Fabrizia came across quite impish and funny. It would be interesting to hear her story as well. The co-driver is too often overlooked. Chris Harris' seperate podcasts with Nicky Grist and Rob Reid are quite revealing.She changed the perception of women race/rally driver s but there still isn't any females in top class rallying.
