Louise Goodman - Part 1

Step back to a golden era of Formula One with one of Rusty’s cherished colleagues, Louise Goodman. From the young UK traveler who ventured to Australia and seized an opportunity at the Adelaide Grand Prix that propelled her into the exciting world of F1 to working with legends like Eddie Jordan, Martin Brundle and others and doing PR before an almost ‘sink or swim’ move into pit reporting for the live TV coverage. Louise Goodman became one of the most loved figures in the paddock that just about anyone would talk to and they still do. She shares what it was like to work for EJ and recalls the heart-stopping tale of Eddie Irvine waterskiing just days before a Grand Prix, all while Neil Crompton was at the helm of the boat! Lou also shares a backstory of one her PR collaborations with Martin Brundle and a daring role swap with Colin McRae. We also explore a pivotal moment in the history of the Jordan team in Belgium.
