Hah? Whats wrong with Lilian? Sarah Fisher AFAIK has experience of ovals only.
What about a British team.Rachael Green & Gail Hill?

Rob or anyone,

Thanks for the list of the women who have taken part in le Mans. When have there been any all women teams in that time? Do you have a definitive list for that? I see 1991 was mentioned.

There's some lovely footage of this and the attempts to get the car going again on the 1991 Sportseen video.

Nick K · 22 Jul 2005, 10:17 (Ref:1360686)

Thanks for the kind welcome. How can I get my hands on a copy of that 1991 Sportseen video?

Here's a 1991 video with the Radio Le Mans commentary.

Nick K · 22 Jul 2005, 10:38 (Ref:1360707)

Thanks jna. So how big a deal is it to have an all women's team battling it out in Le Mans? What do people think?

Nick K

LC2guy · 22 Jul 2005, 10:47 (Ref:1360714)

As long as they are good looking , no problem. ( awaiting some form of rebuke from mods )

That is indeed the same video.

**Aysedasi** · 22 Jul 2005, 12:23 (Ref:1360779)

I think its good for Le Mans to have the ladies involved, pulchritudinous or otherwise......

jna · 22 Jul 2005, 13:01 (Ref:1360801)

Yes as long as the quality you refer to is fully maintained and exhibited in the case of one sponsor's representatives.

Was it only me who noticed the awful inaccuracies in that article? e.g. Recently won the Spa 1000km - it was two years ago, and only a class win. and who is Jensen Button?
