I'm not saying their equally represented, but in the entire world of competitive sports, it is one of the VERY few where women can and have beat their male competitors in straight up competition.
Here's a classic

Danica Patrick, while not a champion, has been consistently faster than the majority of an otherwise all male field. There have been very competitive women drivers in Endurance racing, etc.
Women are generally physically capable of being very competitive in any form of motorsport. What they lack (admidettedly physical) isn't the necessary, strength, speed or endurance, but the mystical power of testosterone. That great hormone that makes men want to crush their competitors without mercy or compassion. For example, the way I treat Sean at the track.
. . . I'm really going to regret this if he ever gets faster than me. . . if.
