W Series: National Inclusion Week

Описание: Inclusion means getting more women racing; it means helping existing female drivers get into championships at higher levels than they may have been able to reach without the financial support and on-track learning that W Series offers.

But we also have a broader mission, which is to show young women and girls the myriad ways in which they can get involved in motorsport, not just as drivers. As much as W Series is about giving opportunities to drivers, it also aims to inspire, empower and encourage girls and women around the world to move towards careers in industries that have historically been heavily male-dominated. In line with that, W Series aims to promote the studying of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects in schools, colleges and universities.

One of our favourite – and most inclusive – days to date was at Brands Hatch in 2019. For the grand finale of our inaugural season we teamed up with charity London Youth and invited 100 girls and young women from youth clubs across the UK capital to enjoy the full W Series race experience. The girls and young women were able to meet all the W Series drivers and many of the mechanics, technicians and engineers, to learn first-hand about what it takes to work in the motorsport industry. It was a brilliant day, because it exemplified everything that W Series stands for, against the backdrop of some truly nail-biting racing.
