Why don't women and men compete against each other in motorsport? If physical strength isn't an issue then why not? I think it would make it more interesting. F1 is as dull as ****.

Some do, Danica Patrick came 4th in Indianapolis this year, McLaren F1 have had Sarah Fisher test drive their car, and Katherine Legge tested a Minardi recently (but crashed!). Women are there, but not at the top flight yet. I can see it as quite possible for a team to have a female race driver in F1 in the next few years.

There were two female drivers who competed in Formula 1 during the 1980s, but not for the leading teams.

Uh, come on, where's the obligatory 'because all women are crap drivers' response? Or perhaps we should throw in a 'because they're too busy doing the laundry'?

Oh yes, it is… you need to be in great shape, cornering at those speeds is very demanding with the neck and shoulder upper muscles mainly. Without the adequate preparation, a driver would not be able to complete just a single F1 race.

Constantly pulling over a G around corners isn't a good thing when you have boobs.

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Well, yes, I suppose that's true.
