if women were better drivers, why is motorsport so dominated by men?

granted there's an element of bravado, competition and lack of self preservation that men naturally have, and it's nothng to do with physical strength anymore. so why aren't there more women in motorsport and even less successful ones?

i know that a good racing or rallying driver is not the same as a good road driver.

i think that it's been proven that generally men have better spacial reasoning than women. that means that they can interpret the 3d world around them better and quicker than women. i think that goes a way to explaining why men can generally park quicker and better than women and stuff. but i think that it, combined with that lack of self preservation means that men think that they can drive closer and more aggressively than women. that does not mean better either.

a lot of car drivers should try riding a bike sometime, and see just how vulnerable they are without the metal cage around them. then maybe they'd leave a bigger gap.
