Charlie Martin (@gocharliem) hurtles around the racetrack, her gloved hands gripping the steering wheel with only blond hair visible from the top of the driver’s seat. She zooms underneath banners emblazoned with the logo of the 24 Hours of Le Mans motorsport race, her focus unbroken. Eventually slowing to a halt after a 30-minute run, Martin unbuckles her seatbelt. It’s not a helmet that she takes off, but a #VR headset; not a racing car that she lifts herself out of, but a state-of-the art simulator at Cranfield Simulation, an aerospace facility about two hours north of #London. The simulator is just one of the many ways Martin, 37, is preparing for the biggest race of her career so far. She plans to be the first #transgender driver to ever compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in #France—one of the world’s most prestigious motorsport races. Her journey begins June 15, when she will compete in the Road to Le Mans race as part of the Michelin Le Mans Cup, marking the start of a three-year program setting her on the road toward the 24 Hours race, and towards making #LGBT history. Her story is a rare one in a sport not known for its diversity, writes @suyinsays, and comes at a time when many transgender people are facing a rising backlash for their participation in different #sports.
