Legacy Lap - Dorothy Levitt: The Fastest Woman on Earth!
<p>Welcome to our first <strong>Legacy Lap</strong> - a special Grit & Gas mini-episode series that spotlights the women who paved the way in motorsports, adventure, and mechanical history.

Dorothy wasn’t just a racer - she was a writer, an engineer, a record-setter on land and water, and a pioneer who challenged every expectation placed on women of her era. From breaking speed records to influencing modern driving techniques, Dorothy Levitt’s impact on motorsport is impossible to ignore.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Sources & References:</strong></p><ul><li>The Woman and the Car by Dorothy Levitt (read free on Archive.org)</li><li>Bugatti Queen by Miranda Seymour</li><li>East End Women’s Museum, Wikimedia Commons, Project Gutenberg, Science Museum Group</li><li>Compiled and narrated by Trai Hunt — any errors are entirely hers.</li></ul><p><strong>Image References (Public Domain or Permitted Use):</strong></p><ul><li>Dorothy Levitt with her Napier racing car (1905) – Wikimedia Commons</li><li>Dorothy Levitt portrait (c.1906) – East End Women’s Museum, via Wikimedia Commons</li><li>Cover of The Woman and the Car (1909) – Project Gutenberg</li><li>Napier 100 hp racing car (1905) – Science Museum Group Collection</li></ul><p><br></p>
