Britain's Jamie Chadwick made history on Saturday by winning the opening round of the first women-only motor racing championship.
Chadwick led home a British one-two, with Alice Powell on her tail to the end of the W Series race in Germany.
The 20-year-old Chadwick, who last August became the first woman to win a Formula Three event, dominated practice and qualifying but ran wide at the hairpin on the first lap.
