Past Gas #193: Six Small Stories About BIG Automotive Heroes

We spend a lot of time talking about the most famous heroes in auto racing: names like Enzo Ferrari, Michael Schumacher, or Lightning McQueen. But today on Past Gas, we’re skipping past the Greatest Hits album and getting into the DEEP CUTS. Who was the first person responsible for timekeeping Formula One races? How did Sabine Schmitz become queen of the Nurburgring? And who was the first female driver to participate in an organized race? Today on Past Gas, we’re going to learn about some of the unsung heroes in automotive history. You asked for it -- and we listened. We're filming Past Gas again!
