Before she became the first woman to race the Indianapolis 500, Janet Guthrie was simply an enthusiast who would do anything to fast on track. Her weapon of choice? A 1972 Toyota Celica.
The best part, though, is that Guthrie’s home-built Celica racer still sees service on the circuit, this time at the hands of vintage racer Lisa Weinberger.
In the upcoming March issue of Classic Motorsports, we take a deep dive into the story of this unique Toyota, the racing career it helped launch, and what it’s like to own a piece of racing history.
