Rudolf Caracciola and his first wife 'Charly' after his win in the rain-soaked 1930 Irish Grand Prix. Charly, who was a very good timekeeper, sometimes disguised herself in men's clothes to get around a general ban on women in the pits. She was discovered and thrown out of the Mercedes pit at the Tourist Trophy of 1929.
