Katherine Anne Legge (/ˈlɛɡ/ LEG; born 12 July 1980)[1][2] is a British racing driver. Legge has competed in the highest levels of global motorsport, including NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula E and IMSA, and tested for Minardi in Formula One.[3] She became the first woman to win a major open-wheel race in North America in 2005,[4] and holds the record for the fastest qualifying effort for a woman in Indianapolis 500 history, set in 2023.[5] She is the first woman to attempt Double Duty, having competed in the 2026 Indianapolis 500 and the 2026 Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.[6] In NASCAR, Legge is the most recent woman to start a NASCAR Cup Series race.[7]

Racing career

Early racing and Atlantics

Prior to joining the Toyota Atlantic series, Guildford-born Legge raced in several developmental open-wheel series in Britain, including Formula Three, Formula Renault and Formula Ford. In 2000, she was the first woman to achieve a pole in a Zetec race. In 2001, she beat Kimi Räikkönen's lap record and achieved a pole, and she was the first woman to receive the BRDC's "Rising Star" accolade.[citation needed]

Legge's move to the United States came about in 2004, when, after running out of finances to continue her racing career, she visited the UK offices of Cosworth, refusing to leave until she had met Cosworth boss Kevin Kalkhoven. Kalkhoven sent his daughter to speak to Legge to get her to leave: after a brief conversation with Legge, she instead told Kalkhoven that he should meet with her. Kalkhoven then offered her a drive in the first three rounds of the 2005 Toyota Atlantic Championship with Polestar Motor Racing: this was her first full-time drive. She won the series opener at Long Beach in her first career Atlantic start.[8] In doing so, she became the first woman to win a developmental open-wheel race in North America. Legge went on to take her second and third wins of the season at Edmonton and San Jose. She finished the season third in the championship with three wins and five podiums. She also received the Toyota Atlantic BBS Rising Star 2005 Award.[citation needed]

In November 2005, Legge became the first woman to test a Formula One car since Sarah Fisher in 2002, when she tested on the second and third days (22 and 23 November) of the Minardi team's final testing session at Vallelunga.[9] After she crashed after two laps on her first run on the track, it was decided to postpone the test until the following day, on which she completed 27 laps with a best lap time of 1:21.176.[10] She was also the first woman to test an A1 Grand Prix car, on 9–11 December 2005 with A1 Team Great Britain.[11]

Legge received the 2005 RACER Magazine "Most Promising Road Racer of The Year" award.[12]

Legge in 2009

Champ Car

In the 2005–2006 off-season, Legge tested a Champ Car once for Rocketsports Racing and twice for PKV Racing. In February 2006, it was announced that she would drive for PKV Racing in the 2006 Champ Car season. In June, she became the first woman to lead a lap in series history, leading twelve laps at Milwaukee.[13] Legge suffered a violent accident at the 2006 Grand Prix of Road America when the rear wing of her car broke; she was able to walk away from the car unharmed.[14][15]

Legge drove for Dale Coyne Racing in 2007, and her best result in the series was sixth place twice.

Legge competing at the Hockenheimring, during the 2009 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season.

DTM

In 2008, Legge moved to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series, driving for Colin Kolles' Futurecom TME Audi team. For 2009 and 2010, she raced for the Abt Sportsline team, who were the 2008 champions. For 2009, she was the only one of the five drivers in the Abt Sportline team using the previous year's car.

IndyCar

In January 2012, Legge signed with Dragon Racing in the IndyCar Series, alongside Frenchman Sébastien Bourdais.[16] However, since the Lotus engines were shown to be uncompetitive, the team made a change to Chevrolet engines. But team owner Jay Penske could only procure one Chevrolet engine lease agreement for the team, so they could only enter one car per race after Indianapolis. Therefore, for the remainder of 2012, Dragon entered Bourdais at the road and street courses, and Legge at oval tracks, except for Sonoma Raceway where both drivers were able to compete.[17] Legge finished 26th in points, competing in ten of the fifteen races, and had a best finish of ninth in the 2012 MAVTV 500 IndyCar World Championships at Auto Club Speedway.

Legge participated in the 2013 Indianapolis 500 race as a joint venture between Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and Team Pelfrey. She took her first practice laps on bump day and qualified 33rd. She ended the race in 26th.

In May 2015, Legge announced her involvement with the Grace Autosport project to enter the 2016 Indianapolis 500 race. Working with the support of the FIA's Women in Motorsport Commission, the all-female team set out to promote technology and engineering as a career for young women.[18] The team was unable to acquire a chassis, and subsequently did not enter the race.[19]

Legge entered the 2023 Indianapolis 500, ten years after her previous entry. She qualified 30th, setting a new qualifying speed record for female drivers (231.070 mph/371.871 km/h). She out-qualified her three full-time Rahal Letterman Lanigan teammates, and she avoided "Last Chance Qualifying," a session where drivers compete for the final three spots in the 33-car Indy 500 starting field. Ultimately, her teammate, 16-time Indy 500 competitor Graham Rahal, was bumped from the field at the end of the session.[20] Legge suffered multiple mechanical issues and a crash in the days leading up to the race. On lap 35, she lost control, leaving the pit lane and hitting the inside pit wall. She tried to continue the race, but was forced to retire on lap 41.[21]

Katherine Legge's car before the 2024 Hy-Vee Milwaukee Mile 250s

For the 2024 Indianapolis 500, Legge drove for Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware Racing.[22] On bump day, she brushed the wall on her last lap, but kept her foot on the gas. During "Last Chance Qualifying," she was the fastest of the four drivers fighting for the final three spots in the race. Her 19-year-old rookie teammate Nolan Siegel was ultimately bumped from the field of 33, with 2022 Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson and Rahal qualifying in the remaining two spots after Legge's 31st position.[23] Her race ended when she suffered an engine failure on lap 23.[24] Legge returned to the team for the balance of the six oval races that season.[25]

Legge entered the 2026 Indianapolis 500, driving the No. 11 Dallara DW12 for A.J. Foyt Racing.[26] She finished 33rd after spinning and colliding with the inside wall on the backstraight while avoiding Ryan Hunter-Reay on lap 18.[27]

IMSA SportsCar Championship

In 2013, Legge left IndyCar to join the DeltaWing program in the United SportsCar Championship. Legge competed in the 2014 and 2015 seasons for DeltaWing.

Legge joined Michael Shank Racing in 2017 to drive an Acura NSX GT3 at the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

In the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona, Legge raced as part of an all-female team alongside Simona de Silvestro, Christina Nielsen, and Ana Beatriz, having placed second in class the previous year. She was placed fifteenth in their class after Legge brushed a wall and damaged the car's suspension.[8]

Formula E

In 2014, Legge signed for the Amlin Aguri team to compete in the inaugural season of the Formula E electric open-wheel series.[28] She raced in the first two races before being dropped for Salvador Durán.

European Le Mans Series

In July 2020, while participating in the pre-race testing at Paul Ricard ahead of the European Le Mans Series, Legge was injured in a crash, suffering a broken wrist and leg. Legge was part of the all-female Richard Mille Racing team along with Sophia Flörsch and Tatiana Calderón.[29]

NASCAR

Xfinity Series

Legge's No. 15 NASCAR Xfinity car at Road America in 2018

In August 2018, Legge joined JD Motorsports for her NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, driving the No. 15 Chevrolet Camaro. As part of a two-race schedule with the team, she also competed at Road America.[30] Legge later made her oval debut at Richmond Raceway.[31]

On 27 July 2023, it was announced that Legge would return to NASCAR and the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 07 car for SS-Green Light Racing in the road course races at Road America, the Indianapolis road course, Watkins Glen and the Charlotte Roval.[32] However, she only ended up running the race at Road America after her sponsor did not want to be on the car for the remaining races due to their members' connection with the writers' strike going on at the time.[33]

On 19 April 2025, Legge put up a qualifying lap of 23.397 in her No. 32 Chevy, beating five other cars qualifying times, but due to a lack of car owner points (NASCAR's Owner Points Provisional Rule) she was one of two cars bumped out by teams with guaranteed starting spots based on points for the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 at Rockingham Speedway. Then it was announced that she would race the No. 53 car for Joey Gase Motorsports,[34] in place of J. J. Yeley, who had already qualified the day prior, secured a 31st-place start. Legge finished 36th after William Sawalich got into the back of her car, which sent her spinning, and Kasey Kahne had no where to go on lap 52.[35]

In her second straight Xfinity effort following a week that saw her receive death threats and throngs of inappropriate sexual comments,[36] she qualified for the 2025 Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega Superspeedway on 25 April by clocking in a faster time than 14 cars, including two of her teammates to secure her 27th place in the field. Before the race, NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps spoke to CNN about Legge and the abuse she had suffered, condemning fans' behavior towards her while defending her against critics who thinks she is somehow undeserving of her place in NASCAR.[37] During the race, she became the fourth woman in history to lead an Xfinity Series race — and the second at Talladega, taking the lead on Lap 75, equaling Danica Patrick’s one-lap out front at Talladega in 2012. While running fifteenth on lap 100, she was collected in an accident triggered by Aric Almirola, who later apologized, saying miscommunication with his spotter led to the high-speed miscue. She finished 34th.[38]

Cup Series

Legge's No. 78 car at Sonoma Raceway in 2025

On 3 March 2025, it was announced that Legge would make her NASCAR Cup Series debut at Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports, where she crashed during lap 210.[39][40] This made her the first woman to compete in the Cup Series since Danica Patrick in the 2018 Daytona 500.[41] It was also the first time that the oldest driver in the field was a female in series history. On 6 July 2025, she scored a top-twenty finish on the Chicago Street Course, the best result for a woman in Cup since Patrick eight years prior — crossing the line in nineteenth for her best-ever result in the series.[42]

During the 2026 season, Legge drove the Live Fast Motorsports No. 78 car at the 2026 Coca-Cola 600 after the Indy 500. This made her the first woman to attempt "The Double"; and at age 45, the oldest driver to do so as well.[43] Legge finished the race 12 laps down at 31st.[44]

ARCA

On 7 January 2025, it was announced that Legge would make her ARCA debut in the 2025 season-opener at Daytona in the No. 23 car for Sigma Performance Services.[45] She finished 39th after being involved in an early wreck.

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Legge took part in the 2024 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, driving an Acura Integra Type S DE5 in the Time Attack 1 category.[46] She placed 27th overall, and fifth of eleven in her division.[47]

Personal life

Legge is a member of the Women in Motorsport Commission of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile).

Legge was briefly engaged to German racing driver Peter Terting.[48]

On 18 April 2024, Legge was inducted into the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame, the first woman to earn the honor.[49]
