Lady Drivers

[seadog777]

I know there are plenty of female drivers on this board, most of them likely better than me ..... but I just came across this video from what was one of my favourite comedy shows many years ago, and I cannot resist posting.... I hope you will forgive me.

Plenty of female drivers on GTP?! I wish man

I'm curious to see where this goes.

The best female racer I ever had the pleasure of competing against was GTNatalie back in the GT5 Prologue days. She was a genuinely fast & intelligent driver. I certainly learnt a thing or two from her when it came to racing strategy & tactics etc. She earned the same amount of respect from everyone as her male counterparts.

This one is not from a comedy show. It is very painful to watch. I can't prove that it's a female, but c'mon, it's pretty obvious.
After the black car leaves, the ordeal should be over, right? Guess again.

Haha classic! 👍 There's a few others like 'Women know your limits' and 'Keep your virtue' etc.. I'm sure they will make an appearance in here too


I'd love to watch all the old boxsets for this show again.. the slobs, the old gits, Tim nice but dim and more.. Brilliant humour 👍

Sexism is so hilarious

Sexism is so hilarious

The original video is from a sketch show, with this clip part of a series (as @Mr P notes) making fun of post-Edwardian era attitudes (and informational videos). The comedians are making fun of their attitudes, and they're not actually being sexist...

... so the fact that it sometimes appears to be a dog-whistle for sexist attitudes is despite the video rather than because of it.


That aside, I'm not sure exactly what it has to do with GT Sport, aside from "sometimes women play GT Sport and also here's some comedians making fun of inter-war attitudes".
