I'm not in the huff
any more. 'Motorsport News' printed my letter (see post 11th August) in this
week's 72 page special celebrating all that is great in British motorsport - a
coincidence surely!
Anyway, I had a good read of the contents
and thoroughly enjoyed it, so if you can find a copy of Wednesday's 16th August
issue, it's well worth a read. It will give you a sharp poke in the memory box.
However, one thing became glaringly obvious. In 31 pages of print and pics
there were no female drivers, co-drivers or engineers listed.
Of the 29 drivers and 23 motor sports
companies highlighted, there were only two ladies mentioned, Liz Patterson and
Claire Williams. Of the greatest 20 motor sporting 'duels', only one lady's
name made it, Michelle Mouton.
Motor sport needs to do better, eh?
