Juliet driven to become face of Pirelli

SHE knows all about spare tyres, but they’re not her own.

Juliet Ward, a 21-year-old law graduate from Cork, is in with a chance to become the new glamorous face of tyre-manufacturer Pirelli in the hob-nobbing world of motorsport.

Juliet is one of five finalists in the 2002 RallyXS Pirelli competition, and a win would mean rubbing shoulders with rallying's elite, including Pirelli World Rally Championship star drivers Colin McCrae, Tommi Makinen and Markko Martin.
