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 and the divers 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. At the age of twelve, 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," it 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 get out. 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 before.
