Her car. Her money. Her choice.
Has she ever actually caused an accident? I don't think so, she obeys blue flags and just pootles round enjoying herself. Which is fair enough. And we pay to go in because we get to see a whole days worth of racing for a modest outlay. One slower car in one race is hardly going to ruin that. Unless you are easily wound up and love a moan of course. Not that anyone here matches that description... It's a historic series. It is for drivers of old F1 cars to bring them out, have a race and show them off. They are the ones paying thousands a year to keep them going. Is it not a touch entitled to not only expect them to do that but also tell them to go a bit quicker...? |

And that's the point, nobody pays them to race them, so who cares how quick they go? Last edited by Peter Mallett; 28 May 2019 at 12:18. Reason: Tidying up. |

What an ill conceived rant. Too many statements to take issue with all but must take issue with the 'we are all supposed to clap and be thankful ' bit. Who the hell has said that on here? I think you have some deep seated hatred of those who have more than you. This is a forum for all views but statements such as that do nothing to help your argument. I know you are a long term frequent contributor here (and mostly well reasoned) but I can't understand this rant. You don't have to clap or fawn if you don't want to. Appreciate that which you like and ignore the bits you don't. Judy Lyons is a courteous driver, obeys the blue flags and keeps well clear of those going past. Her presence puts one more car on the grid and I applaud her for doing so. |

This whole topic reminds of when I go karting.You have people who are very quick,do it regularly and you have some who are do karting for the first time.As a result you have massive differences in speed that means it can be borderline dangerous for the both sets of people.Obviously this is completely different to F1 but the same basics are still in it.
Personally if it was that much of a problem something would have been done about it.Its not a problem until something happens that makes it change. |

I think the drivers in the series take the attitude that they know Judy is out there however I still think the speed differential is very frightening. There was an incident many years ago when an unfortunate Osella driver in Portugal tripped over her. She's a pleasant lady but I find it hard to understand what she gets from participating in those races.
