Natacha Gachnang is also related - grand-daughter/niece? - to the Gachnang brothers who built an F1 car called the Cegga (Claude Et Georges Gachnang Automobiles) in the early 60s. A DNQ at Pau was its sole race appearance but it went on to a hillclimbing career. They also did some of their own bodies for Ferrari sportscars.

I know of at least Max Verstappen, who is winning every race he starts in in the belgian & dutch mini-max & cadet karting championships, but is not allowed to move up to KF3 because of his age. |
