By her own admission the past two years have been the worst of her motorsport career, but Simona de Silvestro says her Supercars adventure is far from over.
The Swiss driver was announced to much fanfare in late 2016 as the first female full-time driver in Australian motorsport's elite championship for nearly 40 years.
In two seasons behind the wheel for Kelly Racing, de Silvestro has struggled to match that impact on the track however with a 10th-place finish in last year's penultimate race of the season in Newcastle her best finish.
The 30-year-old remains committed to her Australian dream heading into next week's season opening Adelaide 500.
