Growing up, Charlie Martin was certain of three things. That she didn’t identify as male, the gender she had been assigned at birth. That she felt the most at home at the racetrack. And that she would never be able to reconcile these two aspects of her life. Here she tells REV about her journey of self-discovery, bravery, and determination. And explains how transitioning helped unlock the potential she always knew she had within her. Now she’s got her eyes set on her biggest motorsport goal - becoming the first trans woman to compete in the Le Mans 24, the greatest endurance race in the world.

Been following her for a few years now and as a trans person and lover of motorsport I would die to see her in the 24 hours of Le Mans. Transphobes can catch these hands.

I raced in the 50’s to the 90’s, quarter midgets on dirt tracks to Ferrari’s at Road America and announced LeMans with ESPN in 1987 while with the TWR Jaguar Racing Team. And here I am at 73, as feminine as I’ve ever been, so happy with my life and position in it. I never made full transition mainly because of finances but here I am, cheering you on and waiting for the Ferrari event at Sonoma International Raceway this summer. All the love and support in the world Charlie. Janet Marie

Yall in the comments are so weird. This is a cute video about a trans woman sharing her experience in the sport and bringing visibility to trans people. It isn't an attempt to promote her driving or what's between her legs.

In the sense that we should be in a spot where this isn't newsworthy because it's nothing out of the ordinary? Oh definately, but we aren't more often than not, she went in there as a cultural “outsider“ and has made her way through it with skill and ambition. So yeah, totally worth recapping in my book.

I don't get the point of the video. Who cares if she's trans or not? Is she fast? Is she professional? That's what matters in a race driver, not what he/she has between his/her legs. By making this video, you're highlighting the difference, not a good approach.
