Can Melyssa Grace Distract Formula Drift Drivers?

We've all seen the videos of racing drivers completely ignoring their umbrella girls who are clearly way too hot. Is this something to do with race driver concentration, or are their girlfriends really that much hotter?
As usual, autoevolution has the answers to these very complicated life questions, the questions that leave you restless on a Sunday night after a race, right as you're about to start your busy work week.

This video shot at a 2012 Formula Drift event shows drift racers/ricers don't have the same problems as their F1 counterparts. They easily spot the lovely Melyssa Grace, one of the loveliest D1 girls that ever lived. Of course, nobody in this championship dates former members of the Pussycat Dolls or has a multi-million dollar contract, so it's understandable.

In a nutshell, racing drivers do notice umbrella girls. It's just some choose to act smug about it.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
