Biographie

En 1992, à l'âge de 45 ans, Lyn St. James est devenue la deuxième femme de l'histoire (après Janet Guthrie) à prendre le départ des 500 Miles d'Indianapolis. Qualifiée 27e et arrivée 11e, elle s'est vue décerner le titre honorifique de Rookie of the Year (meilleur débutant de l'année). Elle a pris sa retraite à l'issue de l'édition 2000 des 500 Miles d'Indianapolis, au cours de laquelle elle a abandonné suite à un accrochage avec Sarah Fisher, l'autre femme pilote engagée.

Elle a créé une fondation destinée à promouvoir la place des femmes dans le sport automobile.
