V8 Supercars is putting its money where its mouth is to find a female driver good enough to race full-time at the elite level.
To back a declared ambition to have a woman competing in the main championship as soon as next year, V8 Supercars will provide the funding for a team to run a female who has the potential to match the established male drivers.
The sanctioning body has taken the unusual step of securing sponsorship for a full-time female competitor to accelerate interest among top-tier V8 teams.
Believed to be worth around $1 million, the commercial support for a female racer in the title series will be available from 2017.
