Racing requires rapid visual-spatial processing and reaction time, and with a vehicle no less. In terms of mental advantages, visual-spatial processing is one of the few areas where there's statistically significant differences between the sexes found across all cultures, and men have the advantage. They're also more likely to be risk takers. You won't find many of us women wanting to race -- too spatial, too fast and dangerous.I don't see any reason why a woman couldn't get consistent results in a professional racing series. Plenty of girls kick ass in karting. Unfortunately, I think societal gender norms push a lot of them to pursue other interests as they get older.

But, there are many 'mediocre' athletes who have had very good NBA careers by doing something at an elite level.
