“There aren’t enough women enjoying motorsports,” says Marta Hansen, a recent transplant to Tampa who drives an AMG GT Mercedes that more than occasionally finds its way onto local tracks. “It’s not about going fast in a straight line—it’s the ‘dance in magic’ of going around corners perfectly that appeals to women.”
A well-known architect with more than 300 award-winning waterfront homes on the Chesapeake Bay, she and her husband brought their seven cars to a two-car garage with triple lifts, allowing both track time and sailing. “We triangulated race tracks in the area as well as sailing, and Tampa was an easy choice,” she grins.
Hansen also has a Porsche Cayman S that tops out near 180 mph and her Radical SR3 is a full-blown, single-seat race car that resembles a Formula One racer. Oh, and then there’s the hot Porsche 911 Turbo S which—surprise, surprise—also sees track time.
