The racer spoke about the requirement to shoot topless to participate in competitions

Finnish racer Emma Kimiläinen spoke about the requirement to shoot topless in order to compete. Her words are quoted by Ilta-Sanomat.

Kimiläinen stated that she has faced sexism on multiple occasions over her career. In particular, in 2010 she was supposed to participate in the IndyCar racing series, but she was refused due to lack of sponsors. The athlete added that she was offered to take money from a men's magazine: for this, she was first told to star in a bikini, and then completely naked to the waist.
