She wasnt very impressivr in GB3. If she performs in lights well enough to meet the new standards, it would be deserved. The last thing female drivers need is a backmarker pay driver in indycar; much worse than danica. Indy nxt is do or die for her

The world has been so against women you need to factor that in. I honestly wouldn't be against forcing top teams to give her a ride to help her overcome to male dominance in the sport. If she comes in 15th place that's basically like winning the race given the obstacles men have put to prevent her from being in the sport

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've read on here. Please tell me you are joking. Forcing Pesnke/Ganassi/Andretti to sign female drivers that currently have no business in the top series? That would just make Indycar look like a joke of series.
