Hi Folks,

Not that I'm a pervert or anything, but saw this lass in the latest Audi magazine and thought she deserved a mention on here:








and she can actually drive yum

No, that was Fiona Leggate. Legge raced in ChampCar, and had that massive smash at Road America in 2006, now she's racing in the DTM for Audi.

I have always rated her as a driver.

I have absolutely nothing against female race drivers they do very well in karts these days I have raced and lost to a few.

Its the one 'sport' where they have every chance to win.

The only reason more don't find themselves at the top level is that not that many do it in the first place.

So it wasn't so much a roll over, but a Legge over. smile

She seemed to be doing pretty well in the States but seems to be struggling in the DTM. DTM looks like a difficult series to be successful in - look at the past F1 racers that have been only reasonable at best. Anyone know why she left the states? Was she not offered a new deal?

Would you put up with that quality of car? oops the wing fell off. FFS the cars are all the same so no need to stretch the materials to the limits like F1.... That simply shuld not happen.

Hello is that DTM? Yes I'd like a well built car please!

You seem to have missed the fact that the wing element broke, it wasn't down to preparation. It's what known as motor racing and an accident, they happen.

Thats exactly my point. Every car in that series is identical. They dont need to stretch the materials to their limit. They can allow good safety and reliabilty limits in the design. Yet the wing still failed.... In F1 where the cars are competing in design then you'd expect it more as designs and materials are stretched. But a wing failing in a single make... no excuse if you ask me.

She's ok and better than Icyx was in the car last year, but Susie is still alot better, maybe because she is more experienced I dunno, but definitely better. I just wish that Merc or Audi would give Kati Droste (German SEAT's) a shot in one of the cars!

For a single seater racer, she's a chunky lass isnt she?

Eye still wood though, to be fair.

She is a nice girl. She can drive well but struggled to complete a 3 point turn successfully on my large driveway 8 years ago LOL.

She had a biggie in champ cars late 2006.

On the contrary Ben, I find it concerning that you felt you needed to say it at all!!! To me it would seem quite normal wink

Don't forget that Katherine's car is one of the oldest in the series and a year older than Susies. I rate them both but it's difficult to say which is better.

Any crash against the fence is a biggie (even more so if it wasn't there obv) Just glad to see ANY driver walk away from that and get back in the saddle....
