Global is revving up for a new four-part documentary series on female racecar drivers. Girl Racers will take a behind-the-scenes look at eight high-octane women over the 2004 auto-racing season as they go head-to-head in one of the few sports in which women compete directly with men.
The series premiers Friday, July 8 at 8 p.m. in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and 10 p.m. in the Maritimes and Alberta while it will air Saturday, July 9 at 8 p.m. in Ontario, Quebec and B.C. The series will be hosted by former driver and Beverly Hills 90210 star Jason Priestley.
