I'm not sure which would be scarier - racing a car at 200mph or skidding over snow at 125mph. The current record is 156mph!

I didn’t even know you could downhill ski at 125 mph. Go, Davina! I’m always a sucker for fast women on wheels…(okay, or snow too).

Same as Danica And Legge, I believe there is a lady racing in American series thatd eserved a mention (even though this was an F1 article)

Her name is Milka Duno, and as Divina she participated in an invitational for Porsche owners in Venezuela.

Milka surprised everybody with her driving skills and immediately was offered a drive in Vzla’s GT championship…

From there she took off to Porsche Supercup, Ferrari Challenge 355, Panoz GT series, barber Dodge Pro series, American Le Mans Series, American rolex series, etc…

This year she is a rookie in IndyCar series…

PS. She has a BS in engineering and 4 master degrees!

This is a brilliant article, Ollie – I learned a lot about women in F1. I’ve been looking forward to it since you mentioned you’d be doing something on the subject at the start of October.

Well I appreciate her. I have heard someone mentioned at milionairematch.com, which was the woman would do twice as much as the men do to go half the work. So she is so special, she is the first lady to compete with the men
