2007 JWM XJS 4th in Championship

I have been racing Jaguars since 2002, for six years and this season finished fourth in the Championship having raced my 'Gulf' 4.0 litre modified car and my 5.8 litre modified V12 (red and gold) in two different classes. The highlight this year was an overall win at the new Anglesey circuit and the lowlight a bent V12 at a wet Cadwell Park. Four, second places and two thirds on the podium was not enough to emulate my Championship winning season of last year.

The ‘Gulf’ car having been lent to several other drivers (as at Brands) has now been sold and the V12 will soon be up for sale as I have an even better V12 waiting in the sideline; watch this space next year. I have to thank my sponsors RH Insurance and Jaguar Classic Parts for their support this year

I also continue to write for Jaguar World Magazine (race reports and my own ‘our cars’ column) which all helps to bring in the pennies, as well as work in the NHS. I also conduct talks and presentations around the UK to car clubs or other groups interested to hear about a woman, successfully racing in a mans world. Next year I already have an invite to visit the US to entertain our American cousins.

Next year I hope to improve on this years performance with my new V12, rebuilt following an accident at Brands in 2005. This car should put out about 420bhp and almost as much torque so watch out boys.

I aspire to move up into other National series, but as ever finding the support is the hardest thing to do. I also aim to compete in my XJ-S in other series next year and have another go at the Birkett. The car is quite an old girl (1975 vintage) a bit like me, but there is plenty of go in her (a bit like me too!).
