AUTOMOBILISMO
Primeiro campeonato só para mulheres
May 3, 2019 - August 11, 2019 - Um campeonato internacional de monolugares para mulheres pretende ajudar as condutoras a conseguir um lugar por direito próprio na Fórmula 1.
The new W Series competition, which uses identical Tatuus F3-spec racing cars, has the backing of former F1 race winner David Coulthard (who is a member of the series’ management and will commentate on the televised events), and offers a total prize pot of $1.5 million.
The championship winner will collect $500,000 to help fund their progression up the racing ladder to, hopefully, F1 status.
The six-round series features 30-minute races at classic circuits across Europe. If successful, future series could see expansion in Australia, Asia and the Americas.
