Plans have been drawn up to stage an historic women-only motor racing championship which could be launched in 2019.
In a proposal circulated earlier this year, the potentially groundbreaking series intends to see women drivers compete at six races -- five of which will be staged in Europe and the other in America -- with the champion promised a Formula One test drive.
The London-based company behind the project are believed to carry the financial muscle required to get the landmark proposal off the ground -- and its ambitious organisers expect the championship to be second only to Formula One as the biggest international motor racing series within three years of its launch.
