Synopsis
Riya, Morgan, and Frites are the only women on the pit crew for Scuderia Pirandello's Formula 1 racing team — actually, they're the only women in all of Formula 1 — and it's not quite how they imagined it. Over the course of the season they travel around the world, from race track to race track, feeding their desire to win (trophies! champagne!) and grappling with the inherent danger of being a woman in a man's world.
