I say, good on her. Hope she goes far in the racing world, though I dare say there could well be many obstacles should she wish to progress.

I think women can drive just as well as men. However, I would still say that many women don't choose to take the interest or make the effort to; certainly not on the race track, and often on the roads (though once again that is a contentious issue, especially since it's not as clear how you determine what a 'good' road driver is).
