Hi @ RoBertino and welcome to TFL.

I like the sound of the book.... the Queen of Motorsport is intriguing.
I am currently reading "The Bugatti Queen" by Miranda Seymour.... the story of Helene Delangle, aka Helle Nice, who became a dancer and a stripper before catching the eye of Ettore Bugatti. Set in the years between the wars...
Seduced by the combination of machines and speed, Helle Nice went on to have an unprecedented career, competing in numerous Grands Prix and becoming the only woman to drive on the treacherous American speedbowls in the 1930s. She set new land-speed records . ....
Enjoy it here at TFL, and I look forward to hearing more of your writing.

Well, we have another "Queen of speed" called Eliška Junková (or Elisabeth Junek), which drove Bugatti cars, including very interesting Bugatti's model "Torture". I have this car also as paper model (later I enclose the photo).
Thanks for your reactions...

I have planned the translation of my own published book, it could be during several month. Lotus material I wanted to prepare for the anniversary of Colin's death at next year.
