Item Description

Alright, race fans and collectors - this one is just for you, a Limited Edition Pippa Mann 1:18 Die-cast car!

Pippa grew up racing karts, then moved into open wheel racing in Europe, where she became the first female driver to score points in World Series by Renault, and the first female driver to start a race from pole position in that series. In 2009, she moved to the U.S.A to race in Indy Lights, the feeder series to IndyCar.

In 2010 in Indy Lights, Pippa had a record year where she became the first female driver to win a pole position at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in any category, and only one of two female drivers to be a race winner in Indy Lights. Pippa finished 5th in the Championship overall and was voted “Most Popular Driver” in the category by race fans.

Pippa drove an IndyCar for the first time in March of 2011, and then qualified for her first Indianapolis 500 in May of that year. She was the eighth woman in history, and the first British female to start the 500-mile race. Over the following seasons she has started the race six more times (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019). In 2013, she returned with Dale Coyne Racing (DCR) and in 2014 raced for DCR in support of Susan G. Komen, raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research and community outreach programs.

She is currently the fastest female driver in history at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the first female driver ever over 230mph with a lap of 230.1mph, set on Fast Friday of 2017.

The car is:

  • Limited Edition
  • 1:18 Diecast
  • No. 63 Honda IndyCar
  • Features pink detailing and the Susan G. Komen logo
  • Firestone tires

Add this wonderful piece of memorabilia to your collection and start your engines!
