Since our new Eurofiend contributor (Tamer Omran) got me thinking about the DTM racing series in Germany, I thought I’d post up this cool photo I found on Tumblr. I believe it was originally posted by Gearheads and Monkeywrenches. This here is a gorgeous white DTM Mercedes AMG, driven by a female driver by the name of Susie Stoddart.
I suppose everyone has different taste, so opinions may vary, but I think she’s much, MUCH better looking than the person who almost everyone in the racing world speaks of as “the hottest female driver.” Yes, I’m referring to Danica Patrick, who gets overhyped (in my opinion) in the “hotness” department and whatnot. I mean, I respect her for being able to drive and all… and I know I’m putting my own highly subjective views out there by saying this, but I think I’ll just say… umm…. Danica Patrick? Not really.
So now I’m wondering what our readers think. Who’s YOUR favorite female driver and why? Danica Patrick? Sabine Schmitz? Verena Mei? Yoshie Shuyama? Akiyo Ohne (the black R32 4door drifter from Ebisu Circuit)?
Voice your thoughts! I definitely have my opinions on who I think the hottest female drivers are… but also I’d love to hear our readers’ views on the best female drivers too!
…but back to the subject at hand… gorgeous AMG DTM Benzo, don’t you think?

Well, i think its not exactly the most PC thing here to rate DRIVERS (female, albeit) by their looks. I would not say Danica is ugly, far from it. I would say she is pretty good looking, and combined with PROVEN skill, I would put her at the TOP of current female drivers. Probably Sabine next, i think she has more experience but ultimately, has never made it to the upper-tier cars like F1 or INDY, she stayed in Endurance. Neither would I want in my rear view mirror.
Verona is a joke, sorry. Met her, seen her drift, seen vids of her. Akiyo Ohne? Bad-ass, definitely.
Hands-down, best female driver IMO in world? Always was and will be, the ONE AND ONLY SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY. It’ll take another woman many many years and victories to get anywhere near the real Race Queen.
yeah i agree, it’s not completely “politically correct,” but hey… this isn’t a corporate website that needs to worry about that stuff. that’s why i like motormavens and continue to read it. realistically, guys DO talk about that stuff, so i say it’s fair game.
out of all the drivers mentioned, i think verena is by far the best looking.
out of the drivers with proven skill, i don’t know much about this susie stoddart, but i like sabine schmitz. im not attracted to danica AT ALL either, but i respect her for being able to do big things in the racing world. she can drive better than 8 out of 10 men in the world probably..?
and as for shirley muldowney, isn’t she like… super old?

In my opinion i think Sabine Schmitz is hot if she were a bit in her younger years. Danica has the corporate backing from all her sponsors so i think Nascar and Indy Car is able to market her well , also being shes the first girl and all. But as far as Sizzle points. I say Sabine purely for her ability of tackling the Nurburgring head on.
@ gilf bro lmao look at her back in the day
and im just sayin as driver 
lol shes forgotten more trophys and championships than Sabine or Danica will ever get near
Danica Patrick looks like a guy. They should call her “Manica.” But yeah I respect Sabine a lot. I suppose living right next to Nurburgring must really help her conquest of the track though! Shirley Muldowney gets some big respect too.
I’d love to learn more about Susie Stoddart though! MotorMavens should do something on her!
