By pure coincidence I have today received in the post a programme bought on E-bay for the Brands Hatch meeting of 5th August 1957.She is down as entered for event 9, a round of the National 1500cc Championship, in a 1460cc Cooper-Climax. This appears to be an event for sports-racing cars, but there is no indication in the programme whether she arrived or started.

Just checking in the relevant "Black Book" whther this was a Formula 2 race, and it was not , but on 1st September 1957 she was entered in a pukka F2 race at Snetterton. So there is some evidence that she probably took part in circuit racing at some time in her career.

Unfortunately, Motor Sport's brief report of the 5th August Brands meeting (Pg 530 - September 1957 issue) lists only the winners, so no joy there.

Also, can't find any reference to the September 1st Snetterton meeting in the October issue. More research required, I feel.

Just reading Tony Brooks' autobiography and lo and behold - 22 September 1956, Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting. Production car race won by Tony in Rob Walker's 300SL, second was Ivor the Driver in an XK140, and third Patsy Burt in her Aston DB2/4.

There's your answer.
