That wouldn't surprise me
Had a customer who made a good point back when she was just running Indy Cars or just getting into NASCAR. At the time Robby Gordon was cryin' about her being so much lighter than other, larger, male drivers like himself. Well, this lady pointed out that while yes, Danica Patric is lighter than than most of the male racers, she doesn't have the strength to man handle a car like, say, Robby Gordon does Wouldn't matter which series either, Stock Cars are over 3000 pounds and while Indy Cars are much lighter while sitting still, all those down force generators do add weight to the cars once up to speed and will make them harder to steer. SO yes, her being lighter does have an advantage in vehicle weight, but also can work against her when it comes to body strength in controlling said vehicle.
