About Leah

Leah came up through karting in the Western Cape and moved into saloon racing at Killarney in 2014. She prefers circuits to the strip: “a quarter mile is over before you’ve had a chance to think”.

Her G87 M2 is set up for time attack, with the power kept sensible and the effort spent on brakes, aero and tyres.
