Last night we came across this program on Sky (Documentary/Demand) and I have to say it was outstanding. Teaser for it here by a young driver she inspired. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgW0XVZSWZ0&ab_channel=SkyTVThe Pikes Peak run set a record which they are still driving to retain today. The relationship with he co-driver must have been something to behold. During the sections where they are speaking to her in her home she comes over as a real role model. No screaming mental commentary or low rent talking heads as with most modern stuff. Great background material, Gumpert, Rohl and many others being really honest about the times and her performance. I think it did gloss over the Quattro's edge a little but a total gem. Sorry to those without Sky. Keep an eye open for it when it hits the normal channels as it is worth it.

Many years ago I worked for Tolemans on the VW / Audi contract; as a thank you my boss got invited to a weekend in Scotland hosted by Audi, the highlight of which was a passenger ride with her on a forest stage - he was literally terrified - it took him a while to get over it.

Thanks Alistair for directing us to this video.
I’ve always enjoyed your comments and thoughts but have also wondered about that ‘tag line’ of yours.
“Just time to burn ... “ actually reads “just time to bum .... “
A typo or intentional?

Ha ha, both. Some time back someone kindly pointed out to me that the "burn a little" read like "bum a little". It made me laugh so I changed it to that.
I guess it is about time to change it again!
