}}Formula Woman, officially known as the Privilege Insurance Formula Woman Championship, was a female-only one make racing series started in 2004 in the UK. It was inspired by the lack of female drivers in other series and was created, amongst other reasons, to boost the female audience of the sport.[1][2]

Format

All 16 drivers raced in the Mazda RX-8 over seven rounds around four British racing circuits. For the following year when support from Mazda ceased, the series consisted of mainly Caterham Sevens. Its last season was in 2007 before disappearing for good.

Competitors

Thousands of women applied to join the series with 16 people eventually getting through to compete. A series of tests were employed to cut down the applicants over several days, including physical and practical examinations. The television coverage, by ITV, and format of these days was similar to various reality television programs with the organisers announcing the people that have progressed to the entire group.
