Season 2, Episode 3: Drive by Tamara Lush
Let’s talk about Drive by Tamara Lush! An Italian hero brings the “bossy for her safety” vibe and our heroine is breaking the Female Tire Changer glass ceiling. Welcome to Formula World!
(Since you are here, in the overlap of open-wheel racing enthusiasts and romance readers, you may be interested in hoverbikes, which show up in Hanna’s book Queen of Dust.)
We took a safety car in the first five minutes of the pod to discuss bookstagram annotations. Wow! That was fast.
Here’s a link to Kate’s curated list of F1 Romances. [KATE HELP] [Ed. Note: I would not necessarily call this “curated” so much as “every one I could find.”]
“The one where her boyfriend is Max and her brother is Carlos and she’s a youtuber” is Throttled by Lauren Asher.
“The one where is she is half mechanic and half model” is Revved by Samantha Towle.
“The one where she was also a mechanic” is My Shocking Monte Carlo Confession by Heidi Rice.
“The one with the fish” is Lights Out by Kat Ransom.

Is it science that women fall in love with their first lover? Please feel free to weigh in.
“Mia” is a perfect representation of mine. No comments necessary, this is factual.
We didn’t get songs in this book, but that didn’t stop Hanna from making a playlist.
We blame The Shallows for why we can’t remember anything.
This book had driver superstitions!
We agree we want more news conferences, we disagree that our hero is Danny Ric. And because Hanna makes the show notes, Dante is: Mario Andretti!
