DD youre an idiot so i gather Europeans are not an introduced race to the Americas and Oceana then? why are blacks called African even in America?
My girlfriend was born in Australia but her first language was polish grew up with polish customs and considers herself to be Polish. I can choose to have a british passport if i want one of my folks is a Scot blood runs thick its why Dario has the Italian flag on his helmet if he was just a scot his helmet would be just like DCs

Danica weighs f all she should be beating everyone in those cars where driver weight doesnt count for the weight of the car!

But those cars are way heavier than F1 cars. so her being lighter wont make that much difference. Also shes had a lot less experience, some of those guys have been around since Juan Pablo was competing!

Yeah the cars are heavier than F1 but im comparing weight with cars in that series alone, She weighs on average about 20-30kg Less than the male drivers in the field, in motorsport thats alot, could mean a few tenths here and there!

thats why in F1 the driver weight is inclusive to the total dry racing weight of the car. no advantage to driver size! although the lighter you are the more ballast you can play around with in the setup.

Well ves I spose it will make a difference, certainly would in cating. Maybe they should employ jockey racing drivers :lol: Guys will have advantages too tho, I dont imagine those cars are easy to haul around. Id love to see her do well, bout time we had some good female drivers.

in Karting they have weight classes with ballast used ie the clubman light class which uses the yamaha kt100s driver+kart must be 140kg
