ChampCars sister series, the Indy Racing League (IRL) has Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher. ChampCar has Katherine Legge. Her pink and purple web site Is all woman. Her skills on the course are all driver. Legge finished sixth in ChampCars Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday.
"Woman Driver" is the first in-depth look at Katherine Legge, in her own words along with commentary from those who have witnessed the transformation from her humble beginnings to her meteroic rise in the male-dominated world of motorsports.
Some say she doesn’t belong on the racetrack. Year after year, she has to prove that she has the grit, the stamina, the physical strength, and the wherewithal to not only race, but to meet all the demands of a career as a race car driver. Who is this young superstar, who came seemingly out of nowhere to capture the hearts and minds of open wheel racing fans? “Woman Driver” is the poignant and inspiring true story of Katherine Legge and her remarkable journey through the highly competitive world of racing.
The story recounts Katherine’s early years, as she sacrificed every available moment of her childhood by racing go-karts. By sheer force of determination, and with the weight of history and gender at her heels, she advanced through the amateur ranks to the professional level. And then the real challenges began.
