The grid/podium girls are there mainly for males to ogle at, just as were/are the girls used to drape across the bonnets of cars at motor shows. And, in my opinion, it has no place in modern society; in fact, it never did have a place. It is just demeaning to women.

Oh, so now we are saying that women should be subject to dress standards in our new "modern society" or just when attending racing or car shows!
Are you going to set up a little fashion police squad at the gate and make the girls all parade in front of a committee to see that they are decently enough dressed to attend? You think that wouldn't be demeaning to women?
Better yet just ban women from attending races because the men may look at them!
My what a nice little police state we are proposing.
Maybe the politically correct want to live in it, I for one don't.
