Description: Helle Nice, born Helene Delangle, was a model, dancer and a successful racing driver. This book chronicles the amazing story of this impossibly glamorous heroine of race track and speed record attempt. It is an insight into the dazzling, reckless world of 1930s motor racing. It also tells of the unjust accusations of collaboration during World War II that ruined her reputation and drove her to a reclusive life, living hand to mouth. It is an astonishing story and well told, with an appeal that goes far beyond merely motor racing.
