I understood the intentions behind the W Series, but the simple fact of the matter is that if you take a bunch of inexperienced drivers and plop them into a series against each other, the few with a little more experience in those style cars (Chadwick) are gonna dominate and nobody is really gonna learn that much.
Segregation isn't the way to develop female drivers, giving them more karting and F4 and F3 and even F2 opportunities is, maybe create an academy just for female drivers at various levels, create a road to prove themselves in an industry where they are still shunned beyond a token female in any given field with a big check to bring.
