would she get her seat at this level if she was not a woman ??

I am sure Michele Mouton agrees with the sentiments in some posts here. Also, frustrating that quotes shows up from ignored users.
Automobilsport is one of the few sports where physical strength is of minor importance.
So women should have a equal opportunity to reach the top.
But they are fewer that starts in karting or junior rally, and most of them have a brother and or a father in the sport. Then when you take away the natural peeloff in the 13-16 year periode, the ones left are few and far between.
So from a sponsorship point of view, a talented girl that matches her boy competitors, is a possibility to attract a totally different type of sponsors for a team.
So I support the FIA initiative to attract more girls to start with motorsport. It is always important to have many that starts to find some real talent. Not sure how much the national ASNs do activly wuth this?
I can understand that the few girls that have reached a certain national level, gets tired of always being the only girl. The social part is also important.
I am so old that I remember Michele Mouton driving the quattro, and there has been few in the rallytop since her.
The owner of G. car sport seems to be Tamaras father, afaik Red Bull stopped suporting her, so obviously money is not the problem...
Possibility Scandola start in 2/3 events
Pirelli/Michelin ;)
