Christine GZ: Why I Refused to Give Up on Racing

Christine GZ: Why I Refused to Give Up on Racing23 Mar1 h 00 min

Selema Masekela straps in for a wild ride with Italian-Spanish off-road racer Christine GZ, a self-made driver who built her first rally car from scrap metal at 17 and hustled her way from small island life to the Dakar Rally.

Christine reveals how jumping in front of a stranger’s rally car set her life on a completely different course, the grind of building a race car with no money and no team, what it’s like to race 1,000 miles through Baja’s relentless terrain, and the career-threatening Extreme E crash that forced her to rebuild from the inside out.
