She is the only female driver to score a point in a Formula One race and one of two women that qualified for an F1 race.
Her diverse racing resume includes endurance racing (ninth at Le Mans in 1976), sports cars (first at Six Hours of Pergusa and at the Six Hours of Vallelunga in 1979) and she drove in the NASCAR Cup Series Firecracker 400 in 1977.
