She commented about her experience driving the RS on the track as provided by MT. I never heard her make any judgements regarding how the RS behaves anywhere else. As she clearly is a talented and experienced driver, and particularly as she seems neither biased towards or away from Porsche, her evaluation seems perfectly valid in the context of this test. It's MT that got it all wrong here, not Patrick.
Personally, I think the GT3 RS is the greatest sports car ever built. But it would be rather arrogant to insist others see it that way too. As good as it is, it ain't perfect. And anyway, who cares exactly how well it behaves at 200 mph on an oval?
BTW, even scowling, I think she's hot.

I wonder how she would even do in GP2?
Don't hate but I don't find her all that attractive, some women here in Germany racing that are more appealing but race slower cars
Now someone I would put my money on is Sabine Schmitz, she knows her cars, experienced and can drive the crap out of anything with wheels!

You're right about that. I would love to watch Sabine Schmitz do a review of the RS at the ring. She's fun, she's cute and she's awesome behind the wheel!

It was a puff piece, kind of pointless. I've known Danica and her family for years. I was with her trackside all through her Barber Dodge year, Atlantic years and her first IRL year. She's very talented, she will win. She can be moody. So what.
I was with Graham Rahal last weekend and he drove my GT3RS at Autobahn in Joliet. He has one on order, and he absolutely loved the way it handled on a road course (and I have it set up for the street.) You should have seen the smile on his face when he got out after the first couple of laps...that was fun.

FHM must have airbrushed out the effects of the bag of hot nickels hitting her butter face.
Great if she can drive well. But sick that an average looking chick thinks she is a hottie just because she can drive well. Stay off of the non-car mag covers, put some clothes on, and get some self respect, and some respect for driving.
Sorry to be honest, but, really, all of the "hit it" stuff is, I believe, due to her driving skill. Put her in your neighbor's wife's Expedition, and she drops from a 7 to a 5. My 2c.

I'm sorry, but look at those eyes - there's not much behind them. It looks like she has just enough neurons necessary to eat a bowl of cereal. Then again, eating a bowl of cereal is about as complicated as driving on an oval, so maybe that explains it...

sorry can't resist this one...
no- going 200 anywhere just entails mashing the gas with a lot of run.
the hard part is not hitting anything at that speed, and being stable under braking while trying to pass people going from 200-175 and back to 200...
