Speeding Centenarian  by Katie and Molly

A 106 year old woman from Tunbridge, Wells has officially become the oldest person to complete two whole laps at the British motor sport circuit, Brands Hatch.

 Her name is Dulcibella King-Hall, and she is turning 107 on Saturday. Dulcibella was driven in a brand new BMW; at speeds over 100mph as a birthday treat! For her 100th birthday, she took a spin in a Porsche, for her 105th birthday she was driven around in a classic Rolls Royce, so for her 107th birthday she decided to do a lap of the famous Brands Hatch course.

She thoroughly enjoyed her ride in the BMW, to the extent, that the previous day she went to the beauty salon, to get her hair curled ready for the big day! After the driving, she returned home to champagne and canapés. Dulcibella has no intention of slowing down her crazy racing days.
