W Series Championship

The W Series Championship is an international motorracing championship, sanctioned by the BRSCC, designed to promote female drivers and aid their ambitions to climb up the motorsports ladder. First announced on 18 October 20180 the W Series would partner with the DTM Championship, using their calendar as a basis, while Hitech GP were signed to run all twenty of the Championship's twenty Tatuus T-318 cars.

The inaugural W Series Championship was staged in 2019, with six rounds supporting the DTM through the season. Jamie Chadwick would emerge as the inaugural Champion, with the Series' success resulting in the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile officially recognising the Championship from 2020 onward.

Championship Format
The inaugural W Series Championship would begin with a selection/qualification process, with 54 applicants in the original registration. Of those 54, twenty drivers qualified, with eighteen selected to race, while two were placed on the reserve list. Those eighteen, plus reserves, would then fight in the Championship in 2019, with a six race calendar established for the inaugural campaign.

For the 2019 Season the Championship would use the FIA's standardised points system, awarding points to the top ten.

History
The W Series was founded on 10 October 2018, with the creation of W Series Limited as the Series' promoter in tandem with backing from several high profile motorsports personalities. The first qualification/selection process began immediately, with 54 applicants narrowed down to twenty over several months.

Maiden Magicians: 2019
Supporting the DTM Championship, the W Series would see five drivers emerge with race victories, as Jamie Chadwick went on to claim the inaugural title with two victories.
