W Series To Combine With Formula 1 Events In 2020
January 16, 2020
W Series have added new races into their 2020 calendar that will see them combine with Formula 1 during their race weekend.
The races in USA and Mexico this coming autumn, alongside Formula 1 will form an exciting championship-deciding ‘double header’, held on consecutive weekends.
“We at W Series are absolutely delighted that, in only our second season, our championship has been welcomed by Formula 1, and we’re utterly thrilled that the final two races of the 2020 W Series season will therefore take place as part of the Formula 1 platform,” said Catherine Bond Muir, CEO of W Series.
“Our two all-new races will follow six races on the DTM platform, making a very varied, extremely exciting and truly international eight-race championship, in eight countries across the globe.
“I’m particularly pleased that W Series will now stage races outside Europe, and the USA and Mexico are of course both very important new territories for us.”
“Interest in and enthusiasm for W Series was enormous in our first season, 2019, among media and fans alike, and the addition of two all-new W Series races on the Formula 1 platform will inevitably increase that enthusiasm and interest,” she added.
