| Book Description | The bugatti queen is the beautifully illustrated story of an indomitable and fascinating woman, a pioneer of motorsport who revelled in danger. Born in 1900 in a tiny french village, helene delangle, aka helle nice, became a dancer and a stripper before catching the eye of ettore bugatti. Seduced by the combination of machines and speed, helle nice went on to have an unprecedented career, competing in numerous grands prix and becoming the only woman to drive on the treacherous american speedbowls in the 1930s. She set new land-speed records before a notorious accident which almost ended her racing days. Re-creating her rollercoaster career with authority and panache from many previously unpublished sources, miranda seymour reveals the story of an unforgettable life and sheds new light on the extraordinary and reckless world of motor-racing between the wars. |
