OK, I really wanted to stay out of this onen, but I just can't resist.
On the surface, yeah, why have a separate womens' series when they can
already compete with the men? Well, a couple of thoughts pop to mind.
First off, why not? If someone wants to organize a series and market it,
LET THEM. More racing is more racing. So what if it's women only? And who
said "separate" - this looks like a place for women to compete *also*, not
*instead*.
Also... I think most of you would agree that attracting more women to
motorsports, especially as competitors, would be a Good Thing. Yes, there
are women race drivers, but a very small percentage of the competing
population. Figure X percent of all racers are REALLY good. Now figure
that only similarly small percentage of all racers are women. What you end
up with is a disproportionately small number of very successful women
drivers, and spread so thin as to be almost invisible without really looking
for them. So - if we want to attract more women to the sport, why not make
the women who are here now, and successful, more **visible**? Sounds like a
good place to start a women-only race series.
Just my own humble opinion.
