W Series Esports League to Debut Thursday, June 11

10-event season featuring world’s fastest female racers to be contested on iRacing

The W Series will bring nearly two dozen of auto racing’s fastest female drivers into the virtual world this summer with the creation of the W Series Esports League, which will exclusively utilize iRacing as its official platform. The W Series Esports League will kick off on Thursday, June 11, kicking off with the legendary Monza circuit and visiting 10 of the world’s most iconic road courses before drawing to a close on August 13 at Silverstone.

W Series is a ground-breaking, single-seater motor racing championship for female drivers only that launched in October 2018. The series aims to push aside stereotypes and change the face of motorsport, quite literally, believing that women and men can race one another on equal terms provided they are given the same opportunity.

The W Series Esports League will feature many of the same drivers that have taken on real-world W Series events, led by defending series champion Jamie Chadwick. While the tracks they’ll be competing on are some of the most famous and legendary circuits in the world, the race formats will vary from event to event, with up to three races of varying lengths and selected races featuring a reverse-grid format based on the incoming W Series Esports League point standings.

The 2020 W Series Esports League schedule is as follows:

The 2020 W Series Esports League driver roster will feature some of the fastest women in motorsports, including:

• Ayla Agren
