CONCERN OVER W SERIES SIGN-OFF IN 2022
There is a question mark over the final rounds of the W Series this season as the category is reportedly in financial trouble.
The all-female series hosted its latest round at Marina Bay in Singapore last weekend, supporting the Formula 1 event, and Beitske Visser took the race win. Despite retiring from the weekend’s race, double champion Jamie Chadwick continues to lead the standings.
The category is due to sign off with rounds in America on October 22 and a double-header in Mexico on October 29-30.
Championship boss Catherine
Bond Muir told the Telegraph that she was confident that the series would continue.
“We’ve had to fight from day one,” she said. “It has always been a struggle but we’re fighters. We’re looking at our budgets. We’re confident that we’ll continue to raise money.”
