Katherine Legge in FRenault

[Stephen Green]

Wohahhh there people. This is getting rather personal and nasty!

Why don't we all take a deep breath, count to ten and start again. The lady in question has the right to defend herself, and the only way I see she can do that is by her driving ability. Let's cut the girl some slack and just see how she performs in races next year. If not we are in danger of this becoming a place for personal attacks.

You should also bear in mind that Katherine is not a member of this forum and therefore has no chance to speak for herself.

well i dont know about her social life but on track i dont think she is a good driver she always seems to be crashing and if shes not she is never wining.danika is not all she is cracked up to be you know she had that one good drive out of the whole year at the festival.
sorry ladies but men win races.

I agree with the fact that both Katherine and Danika are not race winning drivers but the male to female ratio hardly gives a fair view. Neither Danika (especially) or Katherine are that far off the pace and their are always MEN behind them. If you could put together a grid of 50/50 male & female you would have women winning races!

Hmmm, food for thought. Having never seen a race with that many women drivers it's hard to predict the outcome. There have been some very fast ladies who get results on merit alone, Heather Bailey for one, a very fast lady in her time.

I is hard to predict but 'pink hood' should bare it in mind before saying how **** girlies are in cars. Their have been some very quick women in cars, rallying in particular, I think. 1 woman out in the states at the moment in the IRL, Sarah??? cant remember her name, she is quick...(article in Autosport 5 or 6 weeks ago) I believe she shares the same management team in the US as Danika (could be wrong).

Her name is Sarah Fisher and she does appear to be consistently quick. She's also quite young (20/21) and pretty. I would have liked to see Danika do well this year but I'm starting to agree that the festival (2000) was just a flash in the pan... No real consistency with that one result...

[sgrok]

Danica. Not Danika.

Sorry, I have a thing about spelling.

[Stephen Green]

Maybe the dreadful weather at this years Festival helped Danica a little, lets hope not!

[pitbit]

you mean last years festival!!! I'm sure the weather had something to do with her results, she did keep on the track though so it was a well deserved podium finish.

'I'm sure the weather had something to do with her results'

I think you will find that Danica benifited from 5 out of the 6 cars, in front of her before the last lap, crashing into one another.....

yeah...that is true ......but , she was right on the pace at the festival last year....even in the semi finals she was very quick and passing people at mclaren / clearways...she deserved that poduim place i thought...its a shame she hasnt recaptured the form she had on that day.
