This week’s interview features 84-year-old sporting legend Rosemary Smith of Sandyford, Co. Dublin, the most successful female racing car driver in Irish history. Rosemary talks about her motoring triumphs and tribulations, from mastering the pot-hole plenty highways of 1950s Ireland to her dramatic adventures from Afghanistan to Monte Carlo.
