Remember when the Iron Lady of racing, Danica Patrick, took her talents to England as a teen? Turns out, it wasn’t just the tracks that were tough—she faced a chilly reception from teams and rivals who weren’t keen on Americans, especially women. Despite finishing runner-up at the Formula Ford Festival, Danica battled outdated equipment and team bias. Her UK stint may not have broken records, but it forged the grit that made her a legend in IndyCar and NASCAR.
