Woman races Ferrari at Silverstone ahead of 100th birthday
Woman races Ferrari at Silverstone as 100th birthday approachesA 99-year-old woman clocked 130mph in a sports car as she carried out a long-held dream of racing at Silverstone.
Manette Baillie, from Benhall Green in Suffolk, said it was "very thrilling" to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari with an instructor at the Northamptonshire circuit. The event was organised by friends to mark her 100th birthday on 21 August and she raised more than £2,000 to refurbish a village hall. She said: "I like speed. I liked fast skiing and horses. I managed 130. I'll have to go again, see if I can beat that."
