Liz Halliday

Californian-born British-based sportswoman Liz Halliday will appear on Radio Le Mans this week as she looks ahead to her 2007 season in the Le Mans Series.

Liz, who combines careers in both international motorsport and international three-day eventing, will be John Hindhaugh’s studio guest on Wednesday 21^st February between 8pm-10pm UK time. 

Having signed for Team Modena to drive their GT1 class Aston Martin DBR9 this season in the Sebring 12 hours, the Le Mans Series, and the Le Mans 24 Hours (pending entry), Liz, the most successful woman driver in American Le Mans Series history, has an exciting schedule ahead of her for 2007.

She will kick off her season in March by competing in the American Le Mans Series opener, the 12 Hours of Sebring, hoping for a strong result after last year’s race which saw her win the LMP2 class and finish second overall with Intersport Racing, making her the most successful woman in the 54-year history of the race.

She will also take on the six-round Le Mans Series for the first time in her career and is hopeful of racing in the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours, pending an invitation from the ACO for Team Modena. In addition, 2007 will see her become the first woman to race the Aston Martin DBR9 on the international stage

HALLIDAY UNVEILS PROVISIONAL 2007 EQUESTRIAN CALENDAR

Following the announcement that Liz Halliday will contest the 2007 Le Mans Series as well as the American Le Mans Series season opener, the 12 Hours of Sebring, driving Team Modena’s Aston Martin DBR9, the Californian born British based dual-sportswoman has unveiled her provisional equestrian schedule for 2007. 

With her goal of being selected for the US Olympic squad one day still burning brightly, Liz hopes to compete in around 14 events in a busy 2007 calendar which stretches from March until October. Halliday will begin her season at Somerley Park on 28^th March and will take in events all around the UK as well as in Europe. She plans to compete in CIC and CCI*** events in Martinvast (France) and Boekelo (Netherlands) as well as CCI** events at Houghton Hall (UK) and Bazoges (France). 

Liz admits preparations for the new season are going well: “I have got all three of my horses quite fit and in good form which is really good news! Last week I went show jumping for the first time this year, at Addington Manor in Buckinghamshire, with two of my horses, Harry and Oscar, and both of them jumped clear which is a great start. They are all where I want them to be at this point in the year as I get them ready for the first event of the season at Somerley Park.” 

In a busy season Liz has been able to pick out one or two highlights to look forward to: “I’m really looking forward to Houghton Hall in May, because hopefully that will be Oscar’s first CCI** event, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that that goes well.  I also plan to move him up to advanced this year, so 2007 could be a big year for Oscar!  Gatcombe Park is another fantastic event that I’m looking forward to and I hope to be competing in both the Intermediate Championships and the Advanced there.  All being well, Fox will be competing in both a CIC and CCI*** this year, and with any luck I will be able to ultimately qualify for the 2008 Olympics with him.”
