> I don't see what your site has to do with sexy female models, so I would be concerned how you expect that kind of advertising to result in "conversions"

Then I think you might have missed the context of this discussion. The parent comments were talking about the fact that sex sells. Motor racing, especially, has a long tradition of employing sexy female models in marketing. Do a Google search of "Formula One promo girls" to see what I'm talking about. And several of our users have suggested putting "babes" on the site.

Having said that, I'm not comfortable with it. Which is why it's a dilemma.



And the umbrella girls are not without controversy in racing either.

A world championship level rider in Moto3 is Ana Carrasco - female. She came to the races recently with an umbrella boy. Not sure if it was a protest or a PR opportunity. http://i.imgur.com/xu25bOM.jpg
