Rosemary Smith has been breaking records for decades.

Meet The Irish Woman Who Drove A Formula 1 Car At 79

00:00:00 / 00:00:00

She's competed in rallies around the world from the Alps to the desert, she is the only woman ever to win the Tulip Rally and she once broke the Irish land speed record.

At the age of 79, Rosemary became the oldest person in the world to drive a Formula One car when she sat behind the wheel of a Renault.

Rosemary joined Dermot and Dave to chat about her incredible career from telling her Dad to 'drive faster' at the age of 7, to being a useless navigator and driving backwards over the Khyber Pass in Pakistan for 53 miles.

You can catch the chat in full by clicking play!
