The only disadvantage women have that has ANY effect on motorsport is that it requires extra work for a woman to acquire and maintain an identical level of strength and endurance that males do(generally speaking - there are of course some exceptions).
But women who get into racing tend to overcome this pretty quickly. If they really want to make it, they're more than willing, and more than capable, of doing that extra work. Thus by the time a competent lady racer gets to the cockpit, she is at no more of a disadvantage physically than she can be expect of her opponents.
