Browsing: Female Drivers

WRC

In a historic move, the World Rally Championship (WRC) has launched a new initiative to increase female representation in the sport. The program will provide a fully-funded drive in the 2023 Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC) to the winner, opening doors for the next generation of women drivers to compete at the highest levels of rallying.

The FIA’s recent update to its superlicence requirements has sparked debate about the system’s limitations, particularly in supporting the careers of female drivers like Jamie Chadwick who are finding success in the Indy NXT Championship. As the sport evolves, it’s crucial to reassess the points system and create more opportunities for talented drivers, regardless of gender, to thrive in IndyCar.
