Agreed.

Well I am incredibly jealous of the women because they are living a dream that I have yet to attain.

But I am incredibly impressed at how the men on this forum stepped up to defend these awesome women. Talk about a breath of fresh air. Sometimes I have to leave a sight because it gets very misogynistic - as though they would never consider women are part of their forum.
I am still traumatized by a car ad with the slogan "there's no such thing as sloppy seconds". And I work in a male dominated business. It takes a lot to offend me.

So kudos to you gentlemen. Good and valid points all (well most all).

Sorry to hear that Suzy Woolf has decided to retire saying the top end F1 is male dominated.Seems odd the champ chooses to try to look like a woman.
Personally I think there is much more room for female competitors.Over here we have quite a few very quick girl drivers who shock male drivers in M3s and the like, made worse by a girl driver in a Cooper S.

I would not feel to sorry for her . Don't know the lady but she seems like a nice person when on the tele . Top Gear Presenter???

Like many I originally thought that she had got where she had through family connections (like many others) and that her previous results would not have got a male in to that position. But her outings in F1 practice sessions this year changed my opinion and I'm sorry she has not had the chance to race.

I agree with you,but not sure why we are discussing Suzie here as we already have 2 threads in her name on this forum-have also found her own coments on facebook
I would more info on these so called Bentley Belles-a term I think used previously for ladies that raced at le Mans in 1930s? Had not heard of these girls before-how did they get on in Spa 6hrs with modern VW?

A belated welcome to tenths cargirl, only seven and a half years for your first post. There's quite a few women on here anyway and we consider everyone part of the group, male or female so please don't wait so long until your next contribution.
