Anyone who doubted Katherine Legge's ability must have swallowed their lunch in Edmonton when Legge decisively outbraked Charles Zwolsman to take the lead of the Toyota/Atlantic race
source: champcarworldseries.com Zwolsman and Legge left the field behind as they dueled in Edmonton with Zwolsman holding a tenuous lead over Legge. But two-thirds of the way through the race Legge was able to take advantage of lapped traffic to outbrake Zwolsman in an aggressive, paper-thin move. It could be said that Legge's Long Beach win was a little lucky but in Edmonton she earned it with a pure racer's style. "He was quicker out of turns one, two and three and all the wiggly bits out there," Legge observed. "Then I seemed to catch him through the last three or four corners. I was thinking into turn one was my best opportunity, but there was no grip on the inside. Charles was driving a really intelligent race and then all of a sudden this opportunity presented itself. You really don't think in those situations. You just react." So too did Legge hold off Zwolsman's late-race challenge following a restart with four laps to go. Driving beautifully--fast and inch-perfect--she kept ahead of Zwolsman and Andreas Wirth to score her second win of the year and hold onto fifth in the Toyota/Atlantic championship standings after eight of twelve races behind Zwolsman, Tonis Kasemets, Antoine Bessete and Wirth. Legge admitted in Edmonton that she had a hard time after winning in Long Beach in April, and then crashing in qualifying at the second round in Monterrey.
