Female-only W Series enters administration with all staff made redundant
W Series, whi💖ch was formed in 2019 with the aim of helping young female drivers progress higher up the motorsport ladder, cancelled the final two rounds of the 2022 season due to financial reasons.
That ra♉ised doubts over the series’ futu🌱re and whether it could return.
On Wednesday, Kevin Ley and Henry ꦺShinners of Evelyn Partners LLP were appointed joint administrators.
They have promised to “explore all available options to allow th꧃e W Series to restart in the 🐼future.”
“We are seeking expre🧜ssions of interest in the business and assets of the company,” said Shinners. “We would ask that any interest is registered with us as quickly as possible.”
All of W Series’ remaining employees have been made redundant.&nb๊sp;
W Series faced ♚difficulties just a year after launching when its 2020 campaign had to be cancelled due to the COVI♏D-19 pandemic.
It returned in 2021 and joined the F1ꦛ support bill, with Jamie Chadwick going on to defend her championship crown.&nb🌸sp;
Williams development driver Chadwick completed a hat-trick of 🍃W Series titles during last year’s troubled season.
F1 hasಌ since launched its own female-only series for 2𓆉023 - the F1 Academy.
