As far as aggressiveness I have admired LT for her aggressive driving at a state IPRA round some years ago.

At training I watched a woman do 3 sets of 10 wide arm chin ups after sparing for two hours...I have seen some mature racers struggle to get out of the car after 5 laps of historic racing.
I was privy to a lot of medical research that has been done by the US military regarding differences between men and women.

Women don't have the physical strength men have neither have aggressive characteristics to be aggressive over a long period of time.

If your point was valid, then women racers would have had equal success from the beginning of motorsport.
