Statistically there would be only a certain proportion of male racing drivers who have won major championships. It would be interesting to see how that percentage compares with the percentage of female competitors.

If there are 20 competitors in a championship, and one winner, that is 5% of competitors who can win in any one year. If that was the average, then allowing for multiple winners, less than 5% of racers win major championships. If there are more than 20 competitors, then it is even less than 5%.

What percentage of competitors in major championships are female? It would also be less than 5%.... I'd be surprised if it was more than the total percentage of competitors that win the same major championships. There are none in V8SC, none in NASCAR, none in F1. A couple in IRL, and there are a few others, but not many. Statistically, what does that tell us? Maybe only that a competitor in a major championship is more likely to win it than to be a female. Even at the extreme top end of the potential statistics, lets say that 5% of competitors win the championship, and 5% are female. This means that the chances of a female winning are 5% of 5%, which is only 0.25%. Historically, the female proportion of racers in major series would be far less than that. There may (possibly) be more now, but if we are looking at why it hasn't happened in the past, then this is relevant. If the stats are actually only between 2% and 3% for both factors, that gives only a 0.04-0.09% chance, statistically, of a female winning a major championship. Hasn't happened yet, but one day it could.
