Episode 4. Laura Luft

In our fourth and very first international Be Velocity podcast episode Laura Luft, racing driver and reporter at the Nürburgring joins us from Germany to talk us through her inspirational journey into motorsport. We discuss the difficulty of creating content during the pandemic and how grateful we are to the orange army for enabling us to race.

Laura has self-funded her driving career across 12 years, juggling different jobs to try to achieve her goals of competing in a 24-hour endurance race without any sponsors. Along the way, she has become the first female German Sim racing commentator, created a podcast and YouTube channel, and progressed from kart racing.

She tells us how she gives advice to people on a budget who want to get into motorsport and shares her opinion about how women in motorsport need to stick together more.

Laura also confesses that she avoids public days at the ring (and people who think they are racing drivers) and that her song choice for the Be Velocity Spotify playlist helps her when she gets road rage!

This episode is an exciting and essential listen for any motorsport mad listeners who are as addicted to the sport as Laura is.
