Katherine Legge Quotations

It was so cool to see those young girls after I won, ... Hopefully, people like me can open doors for young girls like them. I didn't actually think I could be a racing driver when I was growing up because I'm a girl.

It's a great honor to get the Most Promising Road Racer Award.. It means a lot to me to get the award, especially against such talented competition. I am very grateful to those that voted for me and I hope I can deliver on those expectations.

These are the two most powerful and challenging cars to drive in the world. Growing up in England, it was always a goal of mine to drive a Formula One car. At the moment I'm just climbing the walls to get back into a car. Until I prove myself some more I know that both Champ Car and Formula One are out of my reach.

It's all so new to me. I have to be more physical to drive the car, and the whole thing is just a different beast with the pit stops, push-to-pass and strategy. ... I just want to be rookie of the year and improve toward 2007 and see where we are as a team.

In this sport, ... you're nobody unless you're winning. I wouldn't be getting any attention if I wasn't winning. You have to make sure you're worthy of the attention.
