Jamie Chadwick is the reigning drivers' champion.

The 2021 W Series is a planned motor racing championship that is scheduled to be the second W Series season, after the 2020 season was abandoned because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The championship will be exclusively open to female racing drivers as a Formula 3-level racing series.[2]

Driver selection

After an application and qualifying program ran in September 2019, 18 drivers were supposed to take part in the 2020 season.[3] All of these drivers will also be racing in the 2021 season, with the possibility of more being announced at a later date.[4]
