Lucy O’Reilly Schell: Innovator of French Motorsports

BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Podcast

Lauren Goodman received her MFA in screenwriting from the College of Motion Pictures Arts at Florida State University. While volunteering at the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida, she encountered one of two Maseratis entered by Lucy Schell in the 1940 Indy 500. Ms. Goodman's research into Lucy's time in France as a team owner and principal has been presented at Revs Institute. Her writing draws heavily on history and the lives of women whose achievements have been overlooked. Presently, she is developing Lucy's story into a feature-length project. Ms. Goodman's presentation will highlight Lucy's role in motor racing history and her contributions to the sport.

This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
