At the end of the day those women are out of a job and F1/Darts fans who liked the culture and entertainment build around the sport, see those very sports lose personality yet again. The F1 was way better with high pitching V12 engines which requires maximum effort of both driver and engineers, major accidents, great circuits like nurburgring Nordscheiffe and real drivers with actual personalities.

Instead of this political correct, safety first and speed last F1 we got these days. The removal of F1 girls only further the course of F1 being more of the latter. It's a shame to see darts following the same trend though. Within 5 years the bear tables and booze will be restricted as well. All to make these sports more family friendly and socially acceptable.

You're actually arguing that it's better when people die? WTF?

Not when they died, but the sport is pretty much riscless these days. Back in the days people lived for the sport. Being a F1 driver wasn't just a business, it was a livestyle. Besides since 2000 there was only a single person that died. In 2014 if I remember correctly on Suzuka. Because from all safety measures, nobody thought it was a good idea to not let other vehicles than race cars on or near the track, without a safety car.

 

But yes back in the day most crashes where more spectecular, like they are in other races ports like the indie 500. Circuits these days are also manufactured for cars not be damaged or even ending up in the grind isn't a risk since everything is asphalt these days.
