For self-professed bogan Natalie Lowndes life centred around her brother until a shocking tragedy. Teenaged Nat fled in the night with her horse Blue. What happened next led her into the path of an emerging race car driver. A whirlwind romance, and Nat woke to her photo on the front pages. Jill Johnson took her under her wing. As her husband cemented his legendary status on track, Nat's pleasure in mixing with the crowds saw her become a fan favourite. Natalie Lowndes tells stories from behind the scenes when fans were still allowed in the Pits. Sooner than expected, Levi and Chilli arrived. On one stretch of road life accelerated. The other veered off-course. Tales from a mum, land-owner, horse-lover, friend, daughter, sister and a girl from the 'burbs who was thrust into a world of big talent, big money and big egos. Includes interviews with Helen Lowndes, Jill Johnson, Bev Brock and Alyson Faulkner.
Author Natalie Kile has a Bachelor of Journalism from Qld University of Technology. While working as a freelance journalist to get a ‘foot in the door’, she trained as a Motorcycle Instructor to pay the bills. At 24-years-old, she was hit by a car and would spend the next year in recovery, sustaining injuries until today. Her career took a different trajectory – Business Admin, Mystery Shopper and Queensland manager of Motoring Women where her tasks included teaching women how to change tyres. As a teenager she loved cars and bikes, a love that’s never left her. She has since become a mother of two beautiful children. One morning, she woke up with a life-altering thought; she decided to go back to her first ever job – making people laugh and telling good stories. She reached out to Nat Lowndes, and now here we are!
