Ah now 😕 back when women were told to stay at home and bring up 7 children she was like a flash of lightning from another culture. A breath of fresh air in an era of second rate. She never quite got the recognition she deserved as a driver for my money. The media tended to cover her as an unusual personality not a proper racer and it’s not like there were many women behind the wheel back then.

Tough lady, rip
I remember when she was on one of John Creedon’s TV show.
Met her a few times, lovely woman, she must have been savage craic when she was younger.
Very sad to hear this. I had a driving lesson with her when I was a teenager and she was so lovely and down to earth. RIP to an incredible woman.
Oldest person to drive a formula 1 car aswell at 79
What an absolute legend. Very sad news
Remember my first ever time driving a car was a lesson with her in the passenger seat. Me nerves. Such a nice lady and the talent she had!
RIP. One of our TY activities was a driving lesson with her. Great experience.
That F1 video – she was some character no doubt
May She Rest In Peace
