What's on Rotation? This Race Car Driver Swears By These Beauty Products That Last The Heat & Speed Courtesy of Porsche Motorsports North America

Have you ever wondered what beauty products female race car drivers use that withstand all that heat, speed, and sweat? Shockingly, the answer is simpler than you might think. It's affordable drugstore beauty that can tackle up to 200mph.

We tapped Sabré Cook, a professional racing driver and mechanical engineer in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America, for the full breakdown on the makeup, skincare, and haircare products that go all the way with her to the finish line.

“I need them to be clean, so they don't clog up my pores or make my skin have a bad reaction because we're wearing obviously all the Nomex fireproof [suit]. We're in the car for a long period of time. We're sweating a bunch,” Cook told E!. “I definitely will break out more if that happens.”

It's not just about self-care for Cook, though. For her, beauty is all about bravery. It's the courage to allow herself to exist fully as her own person—regardless of what her male counterparts may say.

"It is okay to be feminine in this space. Seeing other female drivers really helped me embrace it more myself and not feel like I needed to hide it or feel guilty about it or feel like I was being a bit feminine, that that doesn't mean that I'm not taking the racing just as seriously," she said. "I just want to look nice and feel nice, and I just don't need you to tell me about it or comment on it. I just want to exist in my space."
