Desiré Wilson was in action at Brand Hatch at the weekend, driving a 1952 Jaguar E-type in a 42-car field as part of the E-type challenge, celebrating 50 years of E-type. Also promoting her forthcoming biography ahead of its official launch at Goodwood Revival in September, Desiré was signing autographs in the Brands Hatch megastore.
Desiré commented: "The autograph session went really well. 30 minutes of continual signing - lot's of people from my era of racing and a lot that saw me race at Brands and win races. So lot's of fun."
Desiré's next event is the Silverstone Classic (22-24 July), where she will also be racing and signing autographs.
