    Was robbed of a Ladies class win in Monte Carlo by corrupt French stewards too

    She did a lot of good work in road safety after retiring from racing. Did my first ever driving lesson with her driving school over 20 years ago; she was unwell that day but did turn up to do a brief closing address

    Seen her in Birmingham at the NEC in recent years. She had an active retirement and a love for all things car related.

    She was an amazing Women born into a Masculine dominated World unfortunately. A World of small minded primitive men. Thank god its not like that anymore.

    May She RIP.

    Live long and Prosper

    They showed a few seconds of Rosemary just now at the end of Primetime, such a beautiful and glamorous lady, hopefully there will be a tribute to her on TV soon, I'd love to see footage of her breaking a record on the Straight road in Cork many years ago. I always felt she was very under appreciated here considering her brilliant career. R.I.P Rosemary. x

    There appears to be a documentary under production currently going on stuff being said on Twitter. Hopefully they got all the interview footage with Rosemary done before she fell ill as it's a story that deserves to be told.

    Her book is good if a little sad, as she was screwed over by a wannabe saintly (literally spent his money on churches) property developer/businessman in later life.
