Please discuss here all your remarks and pose your questions about all racing series, except Formula One. Both technical and other questions about GP2, Touring cars, IRL, LMS, ...
And @Gibs, F1 is already something of a de facto men's racing league. Let's just enjoy this one and not worry about worldwide relations between the sexes. The idea of having thousands of female open-wheel racing fans in one place should clear your mind of the politics.
I think it's very sexist. F1 today is open to men and women so why do they need a womens only league.
I think men and women should be treated equally...unless they are stunners like Danica Patrick. She is more equal than the others!
as good as this sounds. Are there enough, or even more relevant, large number of good enough drivers for this league?
As far as I'm aware. The current crop of F1 drivers are essentially the crême de la crême. I doubt even they find racing easy, at this level.
I'm not aware of how many females participate in this racing as of now. I know there're a few in DTM and IRL/NASCAR (had to lump them together as I'm not sure what series the lassies are in).
Looking at the list, I'm not sure how good they are. Katherine Legge, Susie Stoddart, Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher are the only ones I've heard of. And I've only seen the DTM pair race (on TV). VIP driver too, so essentially a talented lady driver for each country visited?
Tracks:
Imola, A1 Ring, Zandvoort, Estoril, Valencia and Dubai.
Overall. I'm not convinced.

Bearing in mind it says a Le Mans Start for the first race, I'm not taking this one seriously unless it actually hits a race track. Even if it does, bearing in mind that they actually want Milka Duno, I'm not sure if I will at all. IIRC someone tried this with a fleet of Mazda RX-7s (or where they RX-8s), possibly run as a support to the BTCC, but with a strict rule of no previous experience (a sort of talent search thing). Ralph Firman's sister won it.
Well there are a lot of big girls blouses in motor racing, might suit some of them.
I did ramp up some promotional video for Formula woman, that used the MX5 Mazda.
That worked well for a while.
I do not think it needs a macho geezer these days to drive the cars, the danger is not there anymore. Just skill and stamina.
Women are taking over the leed and non of the bald headed BMW whimps out there have even noticed.
Oh and this Formula Lady is NOT the first all women motor racing, formula woman was.
This is not that goon Briatore is it?
