Mexico City ¨C Formula E¡¯s co-founder and chief championship officer Alberto Longo urged motorsports to compensate for decades of missed opportunities rather than create women-only series, as the world of racing confronts a stark gender imbalance.
¡°I firmly believe that if women are competitive, they should race against men, not have their own championship,¡± Longo said Wednesday.
His approach sharply contrasts with Formula One¡¯s F1 Academy, a support series aimed at helping female racers progress. Instead, Longo advocates for tackling the problem at its roots through Formula E¡¯s FIA Girls on Track program.
