18 drivers already selected for the 2020 W Series

2019 marked the great debut of the W Series championship, reserved for female drivers, and featuring single-seaters F3 on a six-round schedule.

A campaign dominated by the British Jamie Chadwick, resident of the fold Williams, crowned during the final round at Brands Hatch in England. A final which also allowed the first twelve drivers in the general classification to automatically be offered a place on the 2020 grid.

To fill the remaining places, the W Series recently organized a three-day selection session in Almeria, Spain, at the end of which six debutants were selected. Here is the provisional list of entrants for next season, with two other places remaining to be allocated.

“I was overall impressed by the 14 drivers we evaluated in Almeria last month, comments Dave Ryan, W Series racing director. It was therefore difficult to make our selection.

But we have put all the data together as well as possible and I am therefore convinced that the 18 drivers we have selected so far make up an excellent grid. We have left two places available, which gives us a little more time to select the last two drivers. »
