A model usually present at auto racing events. They are typically seen wearing skimpy outfits bearing the logos of the racing team and/or its sponsors. Their official job is to hold a [[parasol]] over the driver to shield them from sunlight while their car is being worked on. Also known as a [i]grid girl[/i] or [i]umbrella girl[/i].

The term [i]race queen[/i] can be used interchangeably with the terms [i]campaign girl[/i] and [i][[booth babe]][/i] as all refer to models in skimpy outfits. Campaign girls can be seen more in trade shows and the like, specially those that market [[motor vehicle]]s, while booth babes are seen in smaller booths, especially acting as booth tenders or helpers.

Due to the increased presence of women in motorsports and safety concerns regarding their outfits in pit lanes, race queens have been phased out of almost all major motorsport series, with [[Super GT]], [[Moto GP]], and [[Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters]] being notable holdouts - DTM even offering the option for male pit models to accompany female drivers.

The most recognizable form of race queen outfit is a revealing outfit usually consisting of a [[crop top]] or [[tube top]] with a [[skirt]] or [[shorts]], designed to highlight the model's [[midriff]] and legs. Recently, race queens in less revealing outfits have also become more common, primarily in regions outside of Japan that still employ them - their outfits will usually consist of form-fitting [[dress]]es or [[bodysuit]]s instead.
