Solved - MJW #200 - "Not Just a Pretty Face" - Part 1 (solved by Paul Jaray, Aaron65, Carnut & faksta)

[woodinsight]

#14 - Natacha Gachnang and #23 - Williams JPH1 of FIA F2

That's the correct answer

[faksta]

Is #12 Bonnie Henn? She then should be associated with #30 - Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona.

[Aaron65]

#8--Lyn St. James   Car #27--IMSA Mercury Capri

It's a Ford Capri if my source is correct, but I'll give you the point as you pointed out it was a Capri

Starting in 1979, the Capri was the Mercury version of the Ford Mustang.  

[Aaron65]

#9 and #19--Betty Haig, 1951 LeMans driver of a Ferrari 166MM Coupe...

[Aaron65]

I'll put this in a separate post so as not to break protocol, but if #9 is not Betty Haig, it is Yvette Simone, her co-driver.

#12 and #30 correct pairing but #12 incorrect driver

Okay, thanks

#9 and #19 - correct pairing and you're almost there.
#9 is misspelt (both names).
Locked for you to provide the correct name.

#12 and #30 correct pairing but #12 incorrect driver

Is she Janeth Guthrie?

Not Janet Guthrie - wrong nationality

I'm going to say it's Yvonne Simon...as far as Betty Haig's concerned, that's the only name I can find for the '51 LeMans...unless the pic is from another year...

Yvonne Simon is correct.
Another one for you.

Okay - only three left - time for some clues

All the remaining girl drivers are British.

#02 - was a fierce campaigner in sports cars. Competed in the Targa Florio with her husband.
#12 - usually drives the car with her husband who was well-known in the music business.
#15 - was often faster than many other men driving similar cars in UK club racing.

[Aaron65]

#2 and #18--Gabriel Konig and Austin-Healey Sprite/MG Midget?

[Aaron65]

#12 and #30 is Nettie Mason (Nick's wife) and Ferrari Daytona

#2 and #18--Gabriel Konig and Austin-Healey Sprite/MG Midget?

That's it - well done and yet another one for you.

[woodinsight]

#12 and #30 is Nettie Mason (Nick's wife) and Ferrari Daytona

Correct pairing but the driver is not Nettie Mason.
The correct name is close though!

[Allan L]

#12 and #30 is Nettie Mason (Nick's wife) and Ferrari Daytona

Correct pairing but the driver is not Nettie Mason.
The correct name is close though!

Perhaps her mother knew her as Annette?

[woodinsight]

Not that.
The girl's surname includes what has already been mentioned!

[Aaron65]

Well, other than Nettie, I found Hettie and Annete.  Since you said my original name was close, I'll go with Hettie...

[woodinsight]

I think you misunderstood - the girl's surname was close, not her first name

[Carnut]

Can't see that this is locked for Aaron65?
#12 is Sally Mason-Styrron, Dudley's wife, who regularly drove their 1972 Daytona 365GT/4/C  Reg No WRF 756L in competition (the very one pictured in #20).

No - it wasn't locked.
You have the correct answer Carnut - well done!

[woodinsight]

That leaves just one to solve #15 obviously tied with car #21

I think if you find the car and look at its marque racing/history/results, you will find this girl there somewhere
