On “I'm Pippa Mann, driver of the Donate Life Dale Coyne racing #63, and in just over a week I'll be attempting to qualify for my 7th Indy 500. I'll be answering your questions on Friday 11th at around 2.30pm, so here we go - AMA!”

Ha! Firstly, please understand that I am a part time racing driver, and my real job is a performance driving instructor for various car brands and the Lucas Oil School of Racing. I love my job, but I had to chose my road car in terms of something that would be reliable, something that was in my price point to begin with and that I could afford to maintain, and something that I could live with driving on a daly basis - and live with driving for very long drives ti/from work sometimes. (Many cheaper cars are pretty awful daly drivers IMHO!) So I chose a Honda Civic. She's not an STI, or a Type R, and she had just under 50,000 miles when I purchased her. Two years later, she has 95,000, will hit 100,000 this summer, and I'm hoping she'll keep going and going like she is now up to 200,000! :)

Hey Pippa. Choose 1 but choose wisely: Ducktales Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers TaleSpin

I have no idea what this means... I should probably go for the one that mentions Dale as he's my team owner.

Probably a generic question but who do you think is the current best driver on the grid?

Actually a great question. Scott Dixon probably, but Josef is doing incredible things for someone so young. Rossi also has an argument out there with how well things are going for him right now, as does Wickens, but I would agree that perhaps "body of work" in IndyCar isn't there yet to rank them up there with Scott and Josef. Finally I have to include my own team-mate Bourdais on this list - you don't win that many championships without being pretty dang good.
