Katherine Legge’s IndyCar Quest
Racer Katherine Legge wants to follow in the steps of Danica Patrick and join an American IndyCar team. But that’s not to say comparing these two goes any further than their gender. Legge has made a name for herself as the Audi factory driver in German Touring Car racing. But the young star has been seen chatting it up with US-based IndyCar officials.
“If getting a ride was based on how much you want it,” Legge said in a recent interview, “I would already be driving an Indy car. I believe in myself and the people I surround myself with, and I am sure it will all come together soon.”
Wife of Champ Car team owner Morris Nunn, Kathryn Nunn, was at one point attempting to put together the “Firestone Indy Lights” team of female drivers. She organized an event at Texas Motor Speedway, inviting six female race car drivers to show up. Eventually, the all-woman Indy team did not come together.
Legge is no stranger to American racing. She finished successful races at the Toyota Atlantic Championship, as well as The Champ Car World Series against Danica Patrick.
