Say a big hello to W Series, an all-new single-seater race series just for women. Whether the W stands for women" or woke" we"re not quite sure, but it"s designed to lead us to a point where there"s a far greater gender balance in motorsport. "At the heart of W Series"s DNA is the firm belief that women can compete equally with men in motorsport," says the official bumf. "However, an all-female series is essential in order to force greater female participation." Which goes someway to answer concerns that a separate series has the potential to segregate women away from mainstream motorsport even further. The idea is that W Series trains its 18 to 20 racers up to a level that allows them to complete in existing, top-flight race series.
