The gender gap between men and women in the motorsport industry remains a large deficit for women.
Women represent 7-13% across all categories of competition with the highest in karting which contributes 40% of overall female participation.
Females drop out of the sport much sooner with careers only lasting 1-5yrs opposed to 12 yrs for males.
Female fans would follow, watch, and support in greater numbers if more female competitors were involved.
