Susie's 2005 season was built around Formula 3 with British Telecom as her main sponsor, when they were just launching something called broadband. Then she slipped outside a newsagent while visiting her grandmother and broke her ankle. She lost her licence, her seat and her sponsor simultaneously — 'dark months' at age 22. After a year at Edinburgh University (which she found alienating — she was training on weekends while everyone else was getting drunk) she'd moved near Silverstone and was marshalling for income. She clawed back to testing World Series cars under a sponsorship arrangement, but was called into a meeting six weeks before the first race and told to find £250,000 she didn't have. Sitting in her Golf TDI, she took an incoming call from a thick German accent: Gerhard Unger of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, asking what she thought of German touring cars.
