Did you know that motorsports racing is one of the few sports where men and women compete together to the highest levels? That being said, there are still very few women racing in motorsports. In an effort to change that, several all-women racing series, including the W Series and F1 Academy, have been developed over the last five years, with varying types of reception and success. In this episode of If I’m Honest, Julia Landauer gives her unfiltered opinion on all-women racing series, she shares some studies from Dr. Ferguson at Michigan State University pertaining to men’s and women’s heat management, and she gives her idea of what would be the best way to help more women climb the ranks of motorsports.
