That said, such series which are typically dominated by men seem not to be a a great place for budding female drivers to nuture a budding interest and talent. If you are in the minority group of any society then you would understand this all too well. Hence, l think this series is a brilliant idea and we should embrace it with the same interest that we give any junior formula. I hope it attracts media interest enough for it to be televised, as l would like to see how this project progresses.

I think, if we see real gritty competition between the finest drivers the series has to offer, many would be converted and embrace women drivers for their talent. Besides, the races shall be grids filled with women, what can be hotter than that.
At first I was not to keen about this because i thought it would, relegate women to only this series and further the stereo type of them not being "strong enough" or whatever to compete with the boys.
But I've come around, because women don't simply get any opportunities their way and are unfairly lumped in all together as 1 group (as are all other minorities)

"we gave a woman a chance and see the result?" that can be replaced with black, chines, asian, or whatever and that is the overall sentiment usually.

I hope this series succeeds and that the machinery they are given are at least f2/F3 caliber. In that way, the cream rises to the top and if a woman is producing outstanding lap times, then they should be more than considered for some F1/F2 or other top racing categories. I think it also gives some F1 teams and or manufactures a great PR opportunity to participate and endear themselves to a new audience. if the FIA were smart, they would find some way to add that series into the F1 weekends.
