Are you one of those women who secretly want to beat their male counterparts?
In an age when equality is a god-given right and women not only expect but demand to be matched with their opposite sex, a competition to find Britain’s next racing driver has just come in time for all women to finally sort out the question: 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.
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.
You are given the chance to showcase your driving skills by becoming the VXR Racing Driver of the Year, which will see you race behind the wheel of an Astra VXR, taking on your male rivals in the ultra-competitive world of motorsport.
“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!” said Richard Hughes, Vauxhall’s Group Marketing Manager.
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.
With the 2008 competition now open, can women settle one of history’s most enduring assaults on reputation, are men really better drivers?!
All you have to do is visit www.vxrdriver.co.uk and fill in a brief questionnaire for your chance to beat thousands of men to the trophy and grab the fully-funded race seat. The competition is open to all drivers over the age of 21 who have never held a race licence.
From all entries 1,620 successful applicants will be put through their paces in the karting semi-finals before 15 finalists are selected for the intensive three-day final.
