Ep 12 with Catherine Bond Muir (W Series boss)

Season 2, Ep. 2

A MUST LISTEN!


Episode 12 of the MotorMouth Podcast and we’re joined by the brilliant and quite frankly hilarious CEO of the W Series, Catherine Bond Muir.


We move through her childhood on the farm to the creation of the most controversial and exciting movement in women’s motorsport, ever!! How she came up with the idea from her dining room table, after a glass (or bottle) of wine and the incredible journey to changing the perception of women’s racing and beginning the genuine search for a female Formula One World Champion.


Catherine speaks freely and openly and her embraces her “crazy lady” persona. However, make no mistake, this businesswoman is a powerhouse and takes her role in women’s sport very seriously.
