Women in the Winner's Circle Foundation's 2007-2008 Driver Development Program, Established by Lyn St. JamesPHOENIX, AZ - Established in 1994, the Lyn St. James WWC Driver Development Program has been the most comprehensive educational and training program of its kind. It's purpose being to provide information and training for female racecar drivers who have demonstrated success on track and have a desire to pursue a career in professional motorsports. This year the Foundation has taken steps to move this ground breaking program to the next level. Drawing upon 14 years of experience, the Driver Development Program has been expanded from a four day experience for participants to a full year commitment including four "onsite" weekends. The redesign creates the opportunity for participants to apply the knowledge they gain with support from Foundation staff and includes a level of accountability for completing each Phase.

 Women in the Winner's Circle Foundation's 2007-2008 Driver Development Program, Established by Lyn St. JamesPhase I featured Dr. Jacques Dallaire who addressed both the physical and mental side of the motorsports performance equation over three days via a comprehensive seminar and testing program.
