Formula Woman with so many women vying for a place on the grid, has led us to
develop this new Summer Series. It is a great opportunity for the unlucky
finalists to take on this, different, challenge, and prove that they can also
be a motor racing competitor. We’ve had so much interest from women with MSA
licenses we wanted to build on the momentum of our ITV-linked Formula Woman
