Having pestered her father to let her try racing, he took an old farm cart used for transporting pigs and added a lawnmower engine. Vicki started racing karts when she was twelve in a race also featuring a certain D. Coulthard. After several years spent competing around Britain, at all of seventeen years of age she started her career as a racing instructor at circuits such as Brands Hatch and Silverstone, as well as spending a year living and working at Knockhill, Scotland. She has competed in series such as Formula First and the 2000 Pentel Ginetta Championship ( which she has guested in on several occasions since ). She has also raced in many other events, such as the Porsche Cup, Radicals, the Speyside Stages Rally, a combine harvester race, a 24 hour 2CV race and, on two occasions, as navigator for ITV's Formula One pit reporter Louise Goodman, in the Rallye Sunseeker. In 2001 she raced a Honda Formula Four-Stroke speedboat off of France.
At the 2004 British Grand Prix meeting at Silverstone, Vicki and her co-driver, fellow journalist Matthew Marsh, won the Maserati Trofeo race, an event described by VB-H as "one of the best moments of my life". She became the first woman ever to win a race in a Maserati.
She made her television debut in 1994, racing a Ford Fiesta at Brands Hatch in a one-off piece for BBC2's Top Gear and was a regular presenter from 1997 until December 2001, during which time she also presented Top Gear GTI for UK Horizons. In 2002 she moved to five's new Fifth Gear programme, as well as presenting coverage of the BTCC ( British Touring Car Championship ) for ITV.
Other than presenting TV programmes, her journalistic career in print has included Car Mechanics magazine, Carweek magazine, Auto Express magazine and What Car? She helped launch Max Power magazine and was a regular contributor to Top Gear Magazine. She has also written for a string of national newspapers, such as The Daily Telegraph and The Times. She currently writes a column for the new London newspaper, City AM
She drives a Honda S2000, a VW Golf GTi Mark 2 and rides a Ducati Monster 750 motorbike
