Sunday Times - oh dear

Time to be a little quiter around the office. The Sunday Times driving supplement has a two page coverage of the RX-8 - well, and here's the problem, not the RX-8 but the Formula Women series.

Be prepared for the **** take, it's national news

- 'Womans car!'

Oh please dont start me on the 'Formula bl**** Woman' thing...

Possible the worst idea in the history of motoring

M.

PS - And I cannot help but wonder if they would have ended up in court if they had run a 'Formula Men' instead.....

yes - the whole sexual equality thing seems to only work one-way.

i'd like to get into nightclubs free just like most women

and at work women can wear anything and get away with it - i mean women in trousers! I think in all this hot weather I'll turn up in a skirt tomorrow!

I think it's great.

Will you please post a link to the article or the article itself? We over here would enjoy reading it.
Having a racing series with RX-8s regardless of drivers is pretty cool and we would like to be able to read about it. Thanks.
:p

Cheers for the interest Boowana!

Sorry for us Brits getting upset by the fact that it's being driven by women.

We should take a leaf out of your books and have less pride as you guys!

/me gives you a cuddle!

I have no problem with women driving or owning this car but if one is going to promote via a race then why not of mixed sexes or one for each but why only women! No good will come of this, mark my words (doom, doom.....):D

I actually thought the article itself was ok. I'm not that bothered about it being a womens racing series.
