Charlie Martin spearheads all female league with RaceDepartment partners RCI

[speedyx56]

Looking forward to it ! @OneRoseyMia and myself will be representing Jean Alesi eSports Academy in the championship, hoping to add this title to our collection after Simgrid's More Female Racers S2.

Please forgive me for being a bit confused by the headline, it says all female league, but it is open to non binary participants. Does a non binary person have to identify solely as female to participate? In which case are they non binary?

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Not 'all female', then, but rather 'non male'. Inclusion at its best once again

Perhaps a misleading title in that regard, it is open to all female, NB, AG, etc drivers. Basically anyone who does not identify as male!

The Diamond Drive Cup Aims To Better Represent Female & Non-Binary Drivers Within Sim Racing

For what reason? Why the f^&% would you publish this garbage Paul? Racing is who wins no matter what they 'identify' as, end of . If women are 'better', or someone who 'identifies' as Kermit The Frog is faster, who gives a toss, let's see them do it - they haven't so far.

The only people who give credence to this garbage are social justice warriors, the longer ppl hang on to the 67+ sexes that have a 'right', the worse society gets. Men have a dick, women have t!ts, get over it.

Edit: If this is the level of RD now, stick a fork in it.

Thanks for clearing that up, yeah it's perhaps easier to say no men allowed. But I suppose anyone can identify as whatever that like without it being questioned, so I'm not sure how one would stop people with appendages exploiting that and participating?

it generates clicks thus money, and perhaps an influx of woman / non-binary who will join Racedep, and subscribe to the premium or more income via the advertisements.

Honestly if you want to do it good.. Do an all female league, a non-binary man to female league and a non-binary female to male league, so males, female, and what ever there's are all even. A man transiting or identiying as female always has upper over females and females to man-transiting/identifying. Just the same why transgender in woman competition always win, cause they will appear to have the bulky mass of a man.

Anyway. Lets see what the Diamond League will bring. I love woman football. Specially when its a Euro Cup or a World Cup, because they are covered the most on Television.

By the way if you really want to do it good you just place everyone in the same league; male, female, non-binary, bi, lesbian, gay, transgender or what ever you are or what ever parafilia you've. Why? Cause all do have different setups aka simrigs, so it doens't really matter what you are, cause there's already a lot of variations/variables.

At last an all woman league or an all men league is technically discrimination, so yeah. but that's another story, haha.

First of all, it's not Paul. Secondly RCI and RD have a partnership, exchange of talent, know-how, PR etc.
This is hosted on RCI's Discord, races on RCI's YouTube, this isn't even an RD-event in the traditional way (as in, this is not RDGTC, RDRC etc. there's a reason why this is on the "general" forum).

Goodness me... some people in this thread are already brilliantly proving why series like this one are so badly needed.

Guess I'll have to 'identify as female' then lmao, honk honk!

 

[Salvatore Sirignano]

To be perfectly fair, motorsport is one of the only sporting disciplines where it doesn't matter what you were born as, identify as, or what is between your legs. Once you're in the cockpit it's about how fast you can go, that's it. Sim racing levels the playing field even further by removing the physical stresses that in a few cases may hold back a woman from real life progression.
I think sim racing is as level a playing field as one could possibly envisage, and as such it should be segregation free. If someone is quicker than me (and many are), I will (like most) doff my cap, regardless of their race, sex, etc. None of that stuff is relevant.

It's always the case when issues like the W-series (and alike) are mentioned on this website. I don't know why some people throw such childish tantrums. No one is forcing anybody to get involved or even pay attention. If their little world is suddenly upside down because there's a female simracing league, they're really, really fragile. There's always a solution: ignore the subject and move on.

I was just thinking the same thing. The egos

We're running this series because Charlie and her friends at Turn1 asked to help us support IWD this year and promote females getting into sim racing -- and while in theory, people are correct, ESPECIALLY with esports everyone is on an equal fields (debates aside about IRL, I'm not even touching that) - but that doesn't mean that as an entry level it isn't sometimes daunting to jump into a field with a lot of egos and bad vibes.

Plenty of leagues for you old guys to be **** at

I got estrogen for you ready, come get it baby boy.

To anyone struggling with this.

Can you really deny that the W series hasn’t done great things for female drivers in motorsport? This is surely aiming to do the same thing.

To the guy who didn’t read the article and blamed Paul for something he didn’t write or publish, and went straight to the comments to vent, don’t worry, you don’t need to take part. This article was to highlight this league to many of the female drivers and non binary drivers we have on RD and yes, there are quite a few.

And to the chap who thinks we are doing this for clicks and cash. Honestly, I just thought it was a pretty cool initiative and wanted to highlight it to anyone who might be interested.

In short I stand by RCI for doing this league.

I wonder if it is the same people wanting ranked races and events, who are claiming, the likes of "sim racing is as level a playing field as one could possibly envisage, and as such it should be segregation free"
