Don't worry - I know you're joking - at least you better be :twisted:


As for women lasting race distances - OK, so she might have to work harder than the guys, but there's no reason as to why she wouldn't be able to last the race. I think the major reason that women are at a minimum in racing is not because we don't have the ability, but that it's simply a man-dominated world, and that on it's own creates barriers to women entering the sport.

It wasn't that I don't think woman can last the race distance, as in they will have to stop near the end of the race. I'm more just questioning due to what most current F1 drivers say about staying in tip top physical condition, can a woman maintain the pace over a race distance.

Im going to stop posting on this topic now because I feel that I'm going to dig myself into a hole in the ground that I can't get back out of again. :blush:
