girls are better racers for a few reasons. here is why:

1. racing requires one to drive on a track at a cars limits. at times u can even push a car past its limits with some throttle steering wheel techniques. But limit braking and steering and throttle requir one to be super gentle. girls have less torque in their movements. therefore they can be smoother when steering and shifting as well as limit braking. thus say while turning girls can actually turn faster in theory b/c they are smooter and put less load on a car when turning b/c they are smoother than guys who tend to over power and thus overload and thus slow the car down. girls have more ability to finess the car. if u think its easy i invite u to the track and get to pulling some gs and try to be smooth. its not easy.

2. girls are usually lighter thus giving them a weight advantage. weight beaing the single most important issue in a race car. not talking rice moded cars. talking race cars on a track. the less weight the faster u can accellerate, the faster u stop and the faster u can corner. weight is one of the only mods u can do that will effect all 3 performance classes of braking/cornering/accellerating. Professional drivers can notice the diffence from a few poubds being in their car. U figure the averag guy weights at least 80 pounds more than the average girl. thats like almost carrying around one forth a second engine dependin on what u r driving. an engine that does not perform and makes the car less corner balance.

3. girls have more rods and cones in their eyes than guys. meaning they can see space better and even they can see more gradiations than guys. thus they see better. percieve space better. racing is all about seeing. when u r doing 180 thur a set of sweepers or u r limit braking into a turn u have to use your perephial vision. as when u r doing 180 u r never where u r but u r really half a mile ahead of where u r b/c things happen so fast that u have to be ahead of yourself. so imageine doing 180 with a cr right in front of you only u r looking off to the right so u knwo your braking point to head into a corkscrew. if the dirver in front of u brakes u better see it. even when u r not looking directly at him. girls are better at this. thus they can get closer to their competitors with less error. error normally puts u on the side lines or in the hospital guys.

4. girls tend to relax more than guys. relaxing means everything. u can not ahve any fear or panic when racing on a closed track wheel to wheel. it will get u killed b/c u will do something stupid like brake during a turn as opposed to before it thus slamming yourself into a nice wall of concrete.

teh only thing girls are missing is something guys have naturally. girls can develop this though. and when the do they can and will be the fastest thing on the track. that is the a word. aggression. once a girl gets agressive she owns the track.
don't believe me?
i can point you to laps times from famous track where a a few girls are whipping aloota a(*.

but what do i know. all i do is race/ read about it / think about it.

thats how far i got before everytihng blurred together. im sorry maybe i havnt met a girl who can drive fast (not good, fast) but every girl ive met wither scares the shit out of me cause they drive like.... or they drive very good but jsut drive normal. guys have a gene called competition (trust me its there) its very dominent. we always have to be better and faster than everyone else. its our nature. that makes us practice more, try harder and not give up. no girl is going to play a pool shark 4 times thinking this time im gonna win, your gonna see you wont win and give up. i think thats why girls dont make it as race car drivers. they just dont care enough to compete. maybe physicaly they can push the pedle down smoother, but guy hit it hard and go balls to the walls to win.....
