Natasha Firman has won the inaugural Privilege Insurance Formula Woman Championship after a string of consistent results throughout the series. Natasha claimed impressive podium finishes in two incident-packed races at Brands Hatch last Sunday,

(25 July 2004), featuring 17 race-prepared Mazda RX-8 sports coup

I saw a bit of this , and the racing was fairly good. Having less trained drivers meant that there was a decent amount of overtaking and other incidents.

I did note that they were referring to all the competitors by their first names though which I've never seen done in motorsport before.

Sexist? Nah!

they should have ahad a couple of blokes in it for "control" reasons... just to see who was faster... me and jon would have done? just to keep the girlies in order you understand.....

chase me!

I watched a bit of this last weekend... was quite amusing how it all just degraded into a catfight and swearing at each other

Is great entertainment, for all the wrong reasons.....

I assume this was on some Sky channel?

Chap at work is hoping to race his RX-8 next year - and it's his company car!! :eek:

Nope, it's on ITV1....

MX-8? Is this a new secret Mazda we don't know about?
