Hungary 89 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridHungary 89 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I agree that it is a statistical issue althought I believe that part of the reason for the statistics is that Having a woman Who:-
A) has a big enough interest in motor racing
B) has the driving skill
C) Has the ability to achieve the physical strength required
D) Has the desire to achieve the physical strength required
E) Can attract the right sponsors

Is just not as likely to happen as it is for a man

I'm sure that there are many women out there with the interest or the skill or the strength or the desire but a women with all of those things is very rare and then she has to fight her way through a male dominated sport before she can get to the top.

Finally you can not equate the physical demands of ETCC and Formula 1 the only way an ETCC driver will experience the sort of G loading routinely experienced by an F1 driver during cornering is if he crashes
