Charlie Martin

"Charlie Martin is perfectly qualified for Le Mans, after all it’s about endurance and she has that in spades."

Sarah Holt, CNN

If Martin attacks the challenge like she has the transition from hillclimbing to circuit racing, and transgender rights, then don’t bet against her making it to the World’s greatest sportscar enduro.
