An Introduction To The W Series [2019 Edition]
Description
The W Series is the worlds first 'Female Only' racing championship that aims to get more women into the motor racing ladder.
In its inaugural season, the championship will race at 6 well known circuits using FIA F3 Regional machinery, making it effectively a F3 championship. Not only that, the cars are shared between all drivers, so after each event drivers will swap cars, engineers, and team personnel, so hopefully this puts away away any ideas of favouritism.
It has received criticism since its inception, including some from women already in the sport, but ultimately the season has already gotten underway, and the series itself will race out until the final round in August.
