Marketing firms pay these girls a good chunk of money to do what a model does. Many of them model for other agencies, and are perfectly fine showing off their bodies. It's how they get paid. it's their chosen vocation until they no longer desire to do so.

If you don't like it, fine. If you do like it, that's also fine.

But there is zero reason to be apologetic for someone who has CHOSEN to do this on their own volition. These girls have zero affect on me, other than the fact that it makes it harder to get grid shots of cars when a bunch of creepy old jackwagons want their picture taken with a good looking girl.

Some of these girls are making $1500 a weekend, sometimes more...$500/day for a three day weekend is pretty good cash, especially if you have a day job not being a model.

Hell, in Japan "Race Queens" are a big deal....they make huge money from some of the companies...small time celebrities in the car world.
Well if they are paid that much then the WEC should now have enough cash to do some more advertising to increase attendences
