Interesting show on Radio 5 Live last night - Jennie Gow discussing the series with Catherine Bond Muir & Jamie Chadwick on the "pro" side and Flick Haigh & Sophie Williamson-Stothert against. Also recorded contributions from various others. It hasn't changed my personal view that it's a bad idea, but it's a good listen and it's the first time I've personally heard Bond Muir (or anyone else involved in running the series) tackle the criticisms head on.
I also find it encouraging that the whole subject of women in motorsport gets a solid hour of discussion on mainstream radio.
Worth a listen if you've got an hour to spare -
