For self-professed bogan Natalie Lowndes life centred around her brother until a shocking tragedy. Teenaged Nat fled in the night with her horse Blue. What happened next led her into the path of an emerging race car driver. A whirlwind romance, and Nat woke to her photo on the front pages. Jill Johnson took her under her wing. As her husband cemented his legendary status on track, Nat's pleasure in mixing with the crowds saw her become a fan favourite.

Natalie Lowndes tells stories from behind the scenes when fans were still allowed in the Pits. Sooner than expected, Levi and Chilli arrived. On one stretch of road life accelerated. The other veered off-course. Tales from a mum, land-owner, horse-lover, friend, daughter, sister and a girl from the 'burbs who was thrust into a world of big talent, big money and big egos. Includes interviews with Helen Lowndes, Jill Johnson, Bev Brock and Alyson Faulkner.

Industry Reviews
Just Nat is, just that one woman's race through life. Flat out down the straights and no backing off on the corners. From the back streets of Kallangur to the racetrack and outback, in Just Nat beats a huge heart and soul with a generosity of spirit and resilience to negotiate any obstacle in her path, Ian Skippen; ABSOLUTELY amazing, so much so I am going to read it a second time. Thank you for the advance read! Betty Klimenko, Erebus Motorsport SuperCars Racing Team Owner; I had the luck to have an early reading copy of Just Nat, and it's one of the best biographies I've ever read. Even if you don't know anything about car racing, I recommend this book just because Nat herself is great to hear from. There're plenty of interviews and quotes in the book from people who knew Nat, and all of them add an extra facet to the story as it goes, Nita Delgado, Reviewer; Unvarnished, hilarious and thought-provoking, Cate Sawyer, Author; My favourite memory with Nat is when we got to drive the cars for the ladies days at the Adelaide 500. We were terrible Muriel at those events, Jill Johnson.
