Motor racing is a very exciting sport, but it is also very dangerous. Racing drivers go at 200 kilometers per
hour and even faster. Sometimes the cars crash (撞车) and the drivers die.
This is Kirsten Kolby. When she was a little girl, she and her brother learned to drive go-Karts, and she
became good at it. When she was 12, she was the best young driver in her country. Now she drives racing
cars.
Most racing drivers are men. Is this a problem for Kirsten?
"Sometimes." is her answer," Some men don't like a woman driver in front of them. They get angry."
Is she afraid of crashing?
"I had a bad crash two years ago. The car rolled over. I was under it and I couldn't move. There was a
fire, and I couldn't get out. A man rushed through the fire and pulled me out. He was a very brave man. After
I came out of hospital, I tried to race again, but I was too afraid of fire. So I stopped racing and got a different
job. But I wasn't happy. I really wanted to race again. I wanted it very much. So now I'm racing again. I'm still
afraid, but I'm stronger than my fear."
