In The Fast Lane

with Michelle Hambly-Grobler

Porsche Personality of 2015,
Classic Car Enthusiast

Michelle Hambly-Grobler is a collector of fine cars, a mother of six, and a project manager – which is what allows her to follow her passion. Voted international Porsche personality of 2015, Michelle is an 11th generation South African and Cape Town is where she belongs. Her first Porsche experience involved the ex-Formula 1 racer Jochen Mass who used to live in Cape Town and was a family friend. Jochen owned a Porsche 964 and took Michelle for a drive which she will never forget. As a female rally driver, racing Porsche and being on the track and collecting cars has opened up a whole new world for Michelle. An impressive and fascinating woman at home in a predominately male drive environment

 

‘I learnt to drive at the age of 12 in a 1965 Ford Fairlane which I today have as part of my collection.’

“As a female rally driver, to race Porsche and be on the track and to collect cars has opened up a whole new world to me. Interestingly, if we think about where we currently find ourselves in the world, with regard to relationships between men and women, women and the earth and how we are trying to create a new balanced environment of equality – I have always found myself at home in this predominately male drive environment.”
