Nah, I don't think it has much to do with your physical condition. I've been in those NASCAR simulations (the actual car mocked up with a computer and it moves based on your driving etc) and while its not the same, if you can sit in the car for a couple hours without having to go to the bathroom and have any kind of driving skills, you should be fine. The mockup was a 10 lap race, which I won handily. I was also the only person that I saw that afternoon come even close to winning it lol. Who says videogames aren't helpful?
I mean, I drove the Dan Ryan for years. You won't find a NASCAR track anywhere near as challenging as that.
Also, the point of this: If a woman can succeed against men in driving, then driving is NOT an athletic event. I am not slamming women, but when it comes to head to head athletic competition, men dominate with limited exception. As mentioned, driving is more reflex-oriented so I don't see why a woman wouldn't do well at it. Pregnant woman couldn't do it, she'd have to pee constantly.
