Britons Find Motorsport Sexier than Football

Monday August 13th, 2001

David CoulthardA survey conducted in Britain found that the majority of the adult population perceives motorsport sexier than football.

76% of the women who participated in the survey said they would rather have a date with McLaren's David Coulthard than with football star David Beckham. Furthermore, 75% of women said that dating a racing driver would be a dream date, compared to only 9% of the women who said the same about dating a football player.

Moreover, 38% of the men said they would fancy a career in motor racing, as opposed to 14% who would have preferred a career in football.

"David Coulthard, Eddie Irvine and Jenson Button all emerged as sport stars women find sexy," A spokesperson for the company who conducted the survey commented. "Motorsport is more exciting than football, cricket and other popular sports and of course there is the element of risk and danger which gives it much greater sex appeal."
