Mona Anette Lindgren-Jansson, known as Nettan Lindgren-Jansson (born 13 March 1957, in Grödinge) is a Swedish racing driver. She is best known for her time competing in the British Touring Car Championship, taking a solitary class victory at Thruxton in 1990 at the wheel of a BMW M3.
Racing career
Lindgren started racing in 1973 in karting, before moving on to Swedish Formula Ford. In 1980, she competed in the Swedish Sports 2000 Championship. From 1981, she raced in both the Swedish and Finnish Formula 3 Championships and was Lancia Lady Cup Sweden champion in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988.[1]
Lindgren competed in the BTCC for three seasons between 1989 and 1991, all in a BMW M3. She gained notoriety in 1991 when on-board TV cameras caught her confronting Jonathan Palmer in his stranded car following a collision between the two at Snetterton.[2] Lindgren later went on to compete in the Swedish Touring Car Championship.
