Tonight, we have an opportunity to bring a piece of Le Mans to you, sharing in the Legend of Le Mans with guests from different eras of over 100 years of racing.
Lyn St. James’ illustrious career has distinguished her as one of the most successful female racecar drivers in history. She would take home titles in races like the 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of Rolex and 24 hours of the Nurburgring. And during that time she would attempt the 24H of LeMans twice and a pivotal time in its history. Later, in 1992, the mold wasn't just broken… It was shattered, and at the age of 45, proving that neither gender nor age matter in Motorsports - she entered the Indianapolis 500, earning the title rookie of the year. And she’s here with us tonight, to share her Le Mans journey with you!
