Can't help feeling sorry for Sheninton for getting all this flack over a trophy when out governing body and the FIA appear to support initiatives aimed just at women. Back in March 2011 there was a selection process to select a young female to try for a `female only' fully funded drive in the Academy trophy (details below).

"The Motor Sports Association (MSA) has nominated Hannah Pym as the UK�s representative in a competition backed by the FIA�s Women and Motor Sport Commission that will result in one female karter earning a fully-funded drive in this year�s CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy.

The MSA was asked to put forward a female karter aged 13-15 for the initiative. The top 10 nominated drivers will take part in a shootout in Geneva on 26-27 April, which will comprise both on- and off-track activities. The driver adjudged to have demonstrated the greatest potential will receive a free entry to the Karting Academy Trophy, along with a free kart and overalls.

MSA Women in Motorsport Group Chairman, Sue Sanders, said: �Hannah is an experienced, well-rounded and mature young karter with a strong CV, and I am sure that she will represent the UK with distinction. I would also like to pay tribute to Gaby Weyer and Alana Taylor who missed out on this nomination; they are two promising talents with bright futures ahead of them.�

Now, maybe this is not strictly in line with sexism policy for the politically correct but it could be for the long-term benefit of karting.
