Not so sure about that. The interviews I have watched with her, she says she gets equal treatment.
The reason I like her is she has rejected all attempts to be stereotyped as a feminist, or racing "because I am out to prove a point", and the like. She doesn't have a bitter chip on her shoulder or agenda. She's likes to drive and race, period.
It will be interesting how she fairs tonight. Amazing that a 100lb person will be able to hold up for the length of time they drive, the course is much different than what she drives normally and one other thing is dehydration (easier for a 100lb person?). I 'd love to be there tonight and had chance for free entry but am getting over a nasty cold.
I understand her weight gives her an advantage by making her car lighter. Is there anything physically about a woman that would put her at a disadvantage in racing. I am asking this as a serious question because I don't follow this sport at all and don't know the physical demands that are put on one's body in a race.
Just in case you didn't know, or for the benefit of those who may not know, one driver doesnt run all 24 hours. they switch off every 3-4 hrs, depending on how they feel and how they're running.
