In an age when equality is a god-given right and women not only
expect but demand to be matched with their male counterparts, the Vauxhall’s VXR
Racing Driver of the Year competition gives females a chance to outshine the
other sex and prove once and for all…. Are men really better drivers?
In the stakes of parity, men have come to terms
with the fact that women can now be mechanics, doctors and even run for
presidency… but when it comes to driving cars, men still believe they are the
better sex.
Vauxhall’s search for a driver, which will see
one talented individual win a race seat in the Dunlop Sport Maxx Cup in 2009, is
open to anyone over the age of 21 and who has never held a race licence, hopes
to see more applications from women this year.
“The competition gives one member of the public a
chance to become a racing driver for the 2009 season,” said Richard Hughes,
Vauxhall’s Group Marketing Manager.
“It is a perfect opportunity for women who
believe they can cut it on-track to shine and prove the old adage that men are
better drivers to be false, for a female to win the VXR Racing Driver of the
Year competition would be amazing!” he continued.
Although driving may have fallen off the
level-pegging cliff, the amount of applicants from women last year was eclipsed
nearly 160-1 by male entrants.
Despite men believing they are better drivers,
recent surveys have shown that women receive cheaper car insurance as men are
more likely to drive faster and break the law more often than their female
counterparts.
