'They are drivers in their blood and all they want to do is race and they were incredibly upset'
The W Series’ season has come to an abrupt halt after financial challenges forced the cancellation of its final three races. British driver Jamie Chadwick, who has won both previous trophies, held a 50-point lead heading into the next race at Circuit of the Americas.
She said: “I had a Zoom call with the drivers and it was incredibly similar to the conversation I had with them about cancelling 2020 because of Covid. They are drivers in their blood and all they want to do is race and they were incredibly upset. "I’ve said as far as we’re concerned at the moment, we want to keep the DNA of W Series going and that it is our intention to still be providing all of the expenses for the drivers.”
She explained that the challenge this year was the timing of the latest funding blow, which meant even prospective investors could not come up with the cash quickly enough to save the season. Other factors have compounded the situation. The global financial downturn has created a chasm between projected and actual costs for the final races.
