In the case of women competing at high level motor racing, their shortcomings count against them making it harder to be successful.
If men and women were exactly the same, tennis, soccer, volleyball, golf, gymnastics, etc. would not be split into separate competitions.
To my knowledge, I do not know of a woman winning a significant motor racing championship anywhere in the world. And I don't see it being likely anytime soon.
I've seen women's telemetry from major open wheel series and they have a hard time being aggressive and consistent over one lap not to mention several and/or in a race. When I mean aggressive I mean hard nosed 10/10ths driving.

Physical I would agree with-mental I would not.Hormonal irrelevant.Point is physical strengh is not needed for motorsport,or equestrian,aeroplanes,boats,etc.Not sure why men & women golfers do not compete together-sounds more like ancient pregedice suviving?
That no woman has ever won a major championship,as has been said before is more to do with numbers.Few have this interest or means to start.
Not sure what you regard as a 'significant' series but watch for Natasha Gatchang in spanish F3. Bia Figuerio in Indy Lights.Leanne Tander in AUS-love to see her beat her husband in the supercars
