‘Its a mans world’ is in this case not on. Sometimes you’d better shut up, otherwise it can be costly. Literally, in the case of David Reynolds. For the first time since 1998, a female team to participate in the Bathurst 1000 race on australia’s Mount Panorama and Reynolds responded at a press conference. A journalist asked to the driver whether he was aware of the female participation, to which he replied, “Do you mean the pussy wagon?’. The joke was smiling in received, (audio clip HERE), but afterwards he had better be able to articulate.

The note of Reynolds ‘ lap at the V8 Supercar-group in the wrong throat and ordered him a penalty of 25,000 Australian dollars. Converted thick, 16.000 euros. CEO James Warburton of the raceorganisatie came up with an official statement to the outside:

“Reynolds’ comments were disgraceful and completely unacceptable in our sport and he has been fined $25.000. Women are an integral part of our sport, whether they are fans, drivers, or team members. And V8 Supercars will continue to support and promote female participation at all levels of our sport”

The driver has as a result of the incident, apologized to the two female racers and in a statement, he says that it was purely as a joke was intended.
