Danica Patrick, winner of this year's IRL Japanese 300 at Motegi:



And her beautiful CAR crossing the finish:



Also, the greatest crash EVER on Road America by another female, Katherine Legge

Eerily similar footage to Greg Moore's demise.

That crash did look similar, lucky it wasn't on the ovals so there wouldn't have been as much g-force

Haven't done a google search but what happened to Sarah Kavanagh?

Hyped up by the media about a few years back, I've heard nothing since.

Most of them seem to be stars and all of a sudden disappear, then there's some you just can't get rid of ie. Milka Duno lol

Beautiful? You've got to be joking, right? The current crop of IndyCars are probably some of the most ugly racing cars ever created. I hope when IndyCar come up with the new design for 2011 and beyond, they come up with something much nicer to look at. Something along the lines of this:










or this:






or any of those Indycars/CART cars from the 90's. They looked so much better than the current crop of machines so I hope IndyCar comes up with some sort of design that is similar to those cars of years ago and much more pleasing on the eye.

I saw her racing in the EuroBOSS race at Mondello Park in 2001 in a 1993 Jordan. Haven't heard much of her since then. Last I heard she was trying to get back into EuroBOSS having given up on her chance of getting into F1 or even GP2.

Her website here

Nah, its not close at all. Suzie is is more of a sweetheart than Danica could ever dream of being At least off the track anyway.....That said, jasus does photoshop work wonders, she's come a long was in 10years haha.

AdMMM

Only in the motorsport forum would a thread dedicated to females have more pictures of cars than skin! I'm a little disappointed
