    Women in motorsport

    I'm mostly talking about fans here! I'd always thought on reading this forum and going to events that almost as many women like motorsport as men. But I've been looking at some of the stats which come out of running the facebook page and it's very startling that a whopping 88% of those who've 'Like'd the page are Male!

    Michele Mouton, Louise Aitken-Walker...

    Fairly blokey on the Wyedean at the weekend. Some women looked genuinely interested but quite a few looked completely bored out of their minds, like they'd been dragged along against their will.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Certainly my missus. What's not to love about standing on the wet, muddy cold bank at Paddock waiting for me? Oh yeah, when you put it like that...
    All other opinions are wrong....

    Sounds like men out shopping. Dragged against their will, and not there because they enjoy it, but they just tolerate it.

    When I had motorsport related clients in my previous job I tended to find that men involved in motorsport would tell me anything and everything. They were worse than women for gossiping.
    My phone has an alarm clock! Ner Ner! :p

    The first racing event I took my girlfriend to was a wet BTCC meeting at Knockhill. On arriving in the boggy car park she revealed that she'd only bought a pair of flip-flops with her.

    Every time I've had a girl over when I've been watching BTCC she's ended up reading a magazine, hijacking my laptop or migrating to another room altogether. It's either not for those girls, or my enthusiasm was just too much!

    Michelle Mouton - I still have the VCR tape of the Auto Union Years which also features her. She was sensational. And what a looker too.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout
