Driving Forward with Rachel Baker - Porsche Cayman, Porsche 918, Taycan S1Ep4 Meet Your Heroes

Meet Rachel Baker, two-time SCCA national autocross champion and co-founder of Driving Forward Together, a group to support women in autocross. We meet her BMW 135, her second Porsche Cayman, her Ducati 959 Panigale Corsa (on track at Palmer Motorsports Park), and her Vespa. Rachel has an unusual job - she repairs flutes for the finest musicians in the world. Sound and precision are clearly important to her. Rachel meets a Porsche 918 from the collection of the Audrain Automobile Museum in Newport, RI - and then gets to experience the new Porsche Taycan Turbo - and we get to see what an autocross champion thinks of the new electric car movement.
Special people and special cars, paired together. They say you should "never meet your heroes." We think you should absolutely meet them and learn more about why they drive what they do. We hope you enjoy our series about special cars and special people. And we hope you'll go out and meet your own heroes. Please subscribe for more episodes.

Such a cool story and person!

Nice piece! Would love to see more woman in motorsports. Rachel is one on the first people we met when my wife and I did autox. We joined Club Motorsports and proud to say my wife is a better driver on the track. Love to host you sometime Rachel!
