Who were the Grid Girls?

- Ah, the Grid Girls. They were the beauties tasked with adding a bit of glamour and spice to the world of motorsport. They did their job well. They were the perfect accessory to the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula 1, MotoGP, and other high-octane racing events. But now, they're gone. Banned, if you will but many can't help but feel a twinge of sadness.
You see, the Grid Girls were more than just eye candy. They were an essential part of the racing experience. They were the ones who displayed the driver's numbers next to their cars, paraded the pit lane, and indulged in other promotional activities. They added a touch of class and sophistication to an already thrilling sport.
But now, thanks to the forces of political correctness and moral outrage, the Grid Girls are no more. They've been deemed offensive, sexist, and outdated. Here they are in action for those you like to reminisce and to those who applaud their demise, you can celebrate in how far we have come.

I remember the furore about this at the time - the first people to complain about it were the Grid Girls who essentially had their living taken away from them so someone else could feel comfortable about the image of the sport. A fairly predictable response. One of the grid girls was interviewed on UK TV and she explained she liked her job and had never been forced to wear anything or do anything she hadn't wanted to and if feminism was about empowering women then why was her means of earning a living being stopped? The thing that really stuck in my mind was the response from the feminist activist who was being interviewed with her and supported the move - she simply told the grid girl she shouldn't be thinking like that. The conversation reached a sort of impasse at that point.
F1 is not a sport, it is entertainment, so bring back the grid girls.
F1 is a sport but cheerleaders exist in other sports so grid girls and guys should be in F1. People like looking at beautiful people.
It is the grid people's choice to go into said job/career. They obviously don't mind being looked at and it's not hurting anyone, infact it's helping. It's a small draw to the sport and more advertising from the uniforms/costumes they wear. The only people it upsets are those who probably don't watch anyways and of they do its such a small percentage they don't mater. They're just loud.
YES
Put in chicks and make them lebians . Make it lame.
is wonderfull.
Thanks Liberty Media..... Americanutjobs
They still have cheer leaders at COTA and other American sports have cheerleaders so it’s clearly not an American thing. Not to mention other motorsports don’t have grid girls anymore.
I believe this practice still exists in Japan. Am I wrong?
I am not sure, perhaps someone can inform us?
Ofc it exists , Japan has ine of the biggest media fanbase regarding motorsport , SuperGT , Formula drift , formula nippon these are at least the disciplines where grid girls enjoy huge success , bless Japan ❤
Grid girls still exist in GT racing: ruclips.net/user/shortslOSnL86zdgY?feature=share
Is it just me or did Drive to Survive start the same year that they abolished grid girls?
They were both done under FOM, who I think bought the commercial rights to F1 in 2017.
So yeah, basically
Sad. Just sad@@CallumDickson666
