Achetez Homme Nike Air Presto Essential Noir Bleu , first to lead a lap in the history of Champ Car and, in Nov 2005, she became the first to test a Formula One car since Sarah Fisher in 2002.
""I'm first and foremost a racer; being female is secondary,"" Legge said in Beijing on Friday.
But is there an added incentive to beat men on the circuit?
""Not really,"" she said. ""I'm always one of the only girls, so it's nothing special since most of the time I am racing against my friends.""
Legge, who grew up in Haselmere
Femme Homme Nike Air Presto Qs Blanche Soldes , England, before moving to Indianapolis, Indiana - the motor sports capital of North America - said winning against guys is ""cool,"" even though she thinks being a woman is just another statistic.

Japan's Takuma Sato will join Legge on team Amlin Aguri. Sato began competing in Formula 1 in 2002 and has driven for Jordan Grand Prix and Super Aguri F1.
""We're really excited about racing in Beijing. I think it's a fantastic opportunity to bring racing up close and personal to the fans and to show the world what a high performance electric car is capable of,"" Legge said.
