Margie Smith-Haas
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025, 7pm EST / 4pm PST.
Margie Smith-Haas is a trailblazer in motorsports, renowned for her remarkable contributions to endurance racing, particularly at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. As the first American Woman to compete in this grueling event in 1984, she broke barriers while demonstrating exceptional skill, determination, and composure behind the wheel. Margie’s Le Mans career showcases her ability to tackle the demanding Circuit de la Sarthe, navigating its high-speed straights and challenging turns with precision. Her racing performances outside of Le Mans have earned her widespread respect within the racing community, highlighting her as a role model for aspiring drivers. Balancing technical expertise with endurance, Margie Smith-Haas’s legacy at Le Mans is one of perseverance, professionalism, and passion for the sport.
