Pippa Mann

Not to be confused with the real Pippa Mann, who is currently racing in IndyCar.

Pippa Mann (born 11 August 1983 in London, England) is a female British racing driver and team owner who won the 2012 F1RWRS season driving for Anglo-Manx Racing. She owned and drove part-time for Foxdale Auto Racing Team which had been created as a merger between Anglo-Manx Racing and Manx-Anglo-Nippon Racing Team. She is the older sister of fellow driver and co-team owner Douglas Mann, and is currently in a relationship with fellow F1RWRS driver Ben Fleet.

Making her debut in the 2011 season, driving for the team she and Douglas formed, Anglo-Manx Racing, Pippa had a solid debut year, the highlight being a second place in only her third race at the Saxon Grand Prix. Numerous points finishes followed and despite failing to pass pre-qualifying in the final race of the year at Laguna Seca, Mann finished 10th overall with a total of 33 points - by all accounts an impressive achievement for the rookie and her new team.

Mann became the first female F1RWRS champion in 2012, the third season in the series. Continuing to drive for her family-run Anglo-Manx Racing, she took two wins at Oschersleben and the Nurburgring to set up a championship challenge that would go right down to the wire. Consistent points-scoring throughout the year allowed Mann to edge out Chris Dagnall and Kay Lon for the drivers' championship. Anglo-Manx Racing took the constructors' title too.

After the merger of AMR and MAN to form Foxdale Auto Racing Team, Pippa Mann drove only part-time in the F1RWRS. She made way after four races into 2013 for pay-driver Ben Fleet to raise sponsorship for the ailing team which had been blighted by unreliability. Fleet and Mann would go on to have a committed long-term relationship with each other as a result, whilst Mann returned to the driving seat for the final race of the year at Brazil.

In 2014, Pippa replaced Jack Christopherson at Foxdale at the half-way point in the season after both Pippa and brother Douglas Mann became disenchanted with Christopherson's poor performances. She picked up a string of points finishes in this latest stint, but made way for the team's protege Martin McFry at the final race of the year.

The 2015 season marked a full-time return to the cockpit for Pippa. After competing in the first race for Foxdale, she was signed by Aeroracing Engineering as a straight swap with her brother Douglas. In the competitive Aeroracing car, Pippa saw an upturn in results, with two wins and three other trips to the podium resulting in fourth place overall in the championship, her best result since her championship victory.

Pippa continued at Aeroracing into 2016 but the car was more unreliable than the previous year. A run of seven straight retirements in the first half of the year ended any hopes of an improved performance on the fourth place of 2015. Nonetheless, Pippa won her final race at the Monaco Grand Prix, and finished second at the season-opening Australian GP. Pippa left Aeroracing two races before the end of the season to switch back to Foxdale. Her brother resumed driving duties at the team at the same time as the two attempted to score more points for the team to secure their future into 2017.

The 2017 season would be Pippa's last in the sport. While she drove for the team for the first seven races, she then stepped back into management once again, leaving the driving to her brother and her partner Fleet. Foxdale continued to suffer further loss in form and the team wouldn't score a single point all year and as a consequence, Pippa and Douglas closed the team at the end of 2017.

Still in high demand due to her experience behind the wheel, Pippa was signed by Voeckler Grand Prix Engineering to be one of its official reserve drivers in 2018 alongside fellow former champion Nathanael Spencer. Both would drive the Voeckler cars in tests throughout the year.
