ANNETTE MEEUVISSEN

Kicking off her motorsport career in autotesting at the age of 18, Annette’s Ford connection started in 1982 when she entered the Fiesta Ladies’ Cup, winning the first race at Wunstorf and then going on to jointly win the championship that year alongside Delia Stegemann. Moving into endurance racing in 1983, Annette then joined the Gerstmann Motorsport team in 1985, driving a Kameisponsored Escort RS1600i (on which Guido based this car) in the European Touring Car Championship — including a couple of rounds at Donington and Silverstone. Annette moved on from Gerstmann in 1987 and into rear-wheel-drive cars, piloting the BMW M3 for Schnitzer Motorsport in the International Touring Car Championship, followed by a number of years with Zakspeed. Annette retired from motorsport in 1992 and sadly passed away in 2004 at the age of just 42.
