About Elizabeth

Author, podcaster, journalist, academic, and all-around motorsport historian, Elizabeth Blackstock has dedicated her life to telling stories of speed. So much of racing's complex history has been forgotten as we strive to paint picture-perfect memories of the past; Elizabeth's mission is uncovering and telling those stories as they happened — intrigue, scandal, and all.

Road & Track

“While you can expect plenty of stories about the business hijinx in racing, the show will also take a deep dive at some of the more impactful controversies in the sport (think Juan Manuel Fangio’s Kidnapping, Australia 1994, or Spygate 2007.) Blackstock has lined up industry experts and personnel familiar with the events to help tell the tales, supported by a backlog of archival research. She’ll even touch on some of the stories we weren’t meant to hear, involving some of racing’s more colorful love affairs.”
