“My father was a racing driver, his name is Don Halliday. I grew up with it all around me. I have always been into fast, dangerous sports, even as a child. As soon as I got in a car I knew it was for me and that I would enjoy racing and competing. My mother was also involved in Solo One. She always said I was like my father and would want to compete one day.” WantChildrenSaidMotherFatherNamesSportsEnjoyDangerousCarGrewInvolvedOne DayGrew UpDriversRacingSoloCompetingRacing DriverDangerous Sports Author:Liz Halliday
“I horse ride. I find it is the best way to maintain my fitness and stay physical. I have to practise anyway for my equestrian front. I do dressage and schooling too. I also do physical training where I work on my neck and upper body strength. Racing is a high endurance sport and you are in the car for a long time so this area is crucial.” WayLongBodySportsCarFrontsLong TimeTrainingAreasHorseBest WayNecksEnduranceRacingCrucialSchoolingPractiseEquestrianDressagePhysical TrainingBody StrengthEndurance Sports Author:Liz Halliday
“In the build-up to a race I begin practising two days beforehand with two other team members. We have an hour and a half practise run together. Then on the next day we have another practise in two separate hour long sessions. On the actual day of competition we do a warm-up run in the car before the race.” LongTwoRunningTogetherNextHoursRaceHalfTeamCarMembersCompetitionWarmNext DaySessionTwo DaysPractiseTeam Member Author:Liz Halliday
“The weight changes and balance that I have become accustomed to in riding have helped me to feel what the car is doing. It has become instinctive to me and I think that has something to do with why I am doing so well in my passion for racing.” ThinkingFeelsWellsPassionCarBalanceWeightRacingRidingAccustomedMy Passion Author:Liz Halliday
“In the future I would like to try other forms of racing, testing Formula cars or single seaters would be good, but again it is finding the time as I am incredibly busy. I don't think I have the time to try any other new sports. I have already cut skiing out of my routine in order to manage the racing and riding relationship. By the looks of things I am going to be busy for quite a few years.” ThinkingTryingYearsLooksWould BeFormOrderSportsCuttingCarFindingsBusyBe GoodManageRoutineFormulasRacingRidingTestingSkiing Author:Liz Halliday
