    One would think that prioritising broadcasting and viewership would be top of their list.
    Also, the races are too short and I heard the timing displays were malfunctioning.
    In many ways, the race format seems to be more condescending than beneficial to these women.
    There's gotta be some changes made quick
    I quite agree, it was a poor start to what is suppose to be a historic event. There is no point having a women series if vast audiences cannot watch it. I heard they were struggling to make media deals for some reason. But they could have made more effort to put it out there for interested people to watch it. I was shocked to hear that you chaps in the US cannot view the youtube film of the race. That is not clever.

    I noticed as well that the start light was somewhat unceremonious. All the lights bearly all lite up before they all went out. Though there were indications after the race that the start light had malfunctioned. It seemed suspect to me. It worked very well for the DTM race mind you.

    I hope this is not the experience that these female racers are going to experience throughout this season.
