Motor Racing is absolutely a physical sport, but rarely does it require "explosive" physical power, just the ability to perform a physially demanding task for 2 hours in 50C wearing fireproof overalls and it appears that may well be something where a sufficiently talented woman can and will eventually bridge the gap.
Target shooting is similar. Err... well, without the fireproof overalls. Great Britain is one of the most successful target shooting nations in the world, and an increasing number of women are amongst the high-flyers.
Of course, you'd never know about it from reading the papers. Hell, I'm quite heavily involved in the target shooting world myself and I'm buggered if I can name two.
