Andrea Robertson

Andrea Robertson, a woman who carved her name into Le Mans history. In 2011, Andrea became the last American woman (to date) to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans—and more impressively, the first to ever stand on the podium in the race’s 100-year history.

She and her late-husband, David Robertson, along with pro driver David Murry, took on the grueling challenge of Le Mans as privateers, fielding their iconic Ford GT40 against some of the biggest names in endurance racing. With grit, determination, and sheer passion, they defied the odds and made history on one of motorsport’s biggest stages.

How did they do it? What was it like to go wheel-to-wheel against factory-backed giants? And what does Andrea’s success mean for the future of women in endurance racing? That’s what we’re here to find out. This Evening With A Legend was hosted by Crew Chief Eric from The Motoring Podcast Network.
