From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liane Engeman (24 March 1944 – 12 February 2026) was a Dutch racing car driver born in Haarlem, Netherlands.[2][3][4][a] Having worked for her father's taxi company in Zandvoort, she could already drive at 15 years old. She was introduced to racing by chance when rally driver Rob Slotemaker offered her a lift while she waited at a bus stop. In 1965 she started racing professionally at Formula Vee in the Netherlands. She then went on to compete in the 1969 British Saloon Car Championship for D.J. Bond Racing, driving a Ford Anglia.[2][6]
