I beleive that the problem has, and always will be, a simple case of numbers. Almost every guy is interested in racing cars, whereas maybe .01% of women are. Therefore, you are always going to end up with a thousand times more guys making it than women, simply because a thousand times more guys try.
If things change and more women become interested, expect to see more women making it big time on the track.
I don't think it's a lack of ability, simply a lack of interest from the majority of women to give it a go. Those that do show equal ability to the guys.
