Here we find out if the new formula will be action-packed, full of drama for all the right reasons, with tough racing and no mechanical failures. The inaugural W Series season had begun.

After a successful maiden outing for the 'W Series' at Hockenheim, we now travel to the Zolder racing circuit in Belgium. This time, we have another action-packed weekend including two new faces. Reserve driver Vivien Keszthelyi, making her first appearance in place of Emma Kimilainen, who had aggravated an old neck injury during her accident in the first round at Hockenheim (Germany). Second reserve Sarah Bovy made it a 19-car grid.

The W Series has now reached the halfway point in its inaugural season, with its only visit to southern Europe courtesy of a round of racing at the 'Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli' (Italy). With another 19-car grid heading out to race as Vivien Kesztheyli stood in for Emma Kimilainen again and Sarah Bovy got another chance to race after a mechanical problem ruled her out at Round 2 'Zolder (Belguim)'.

After the fast, flowing Misano racing circuit in Italy, we now visit the tight confines of the Norisring, 1.4-mile street circuit in Nuremberg (Germany). This is a huge contrast from earlier conventional racing tracks, and this one is an unforgiving track where the slightest mistake can put you in the wall and out of the race. This would not deter Emma Kimilainen, who returned to the field after recuperating from her neck injury.

It's round 5 and the penultimate race in the inaugural season of 'W Series'. TT Circuit Assen, to use this famous venue's official title, has almost a hundred years of racing history in the record books. It's better known for motorcycle events but it's no less challenging at the wheel of a single-seater. This 'W Series' weekend had an unusual flavour since they were running 2 races. (Round 5 on Saturday, and another race on Sunday which won't count towards the championship but enabling 'W Series' to evaluate a different event format under real conditions).

One day after Round 5, the penultimate race in the inaugural season of 'W Series'. TT Circuit Assen is used once again, but with a twist. The 'W Series' experimented with a non-championship reverse-grid race where all 20 drivers lined up in reverse order of their positions in the championship standings, with 18-year-old Megan Gilkes assuming pole position and championship leader Jamie Chadwick lining up at the very back of the grid. Watch 'W Series' first ever reverse-grid race to see the action unfold, whilst the race is used for the organization to evaluate a different event format under real conditions.

It's Race 6, the finale of the inaugural season of the 2019 'W Series' Championship. While it was fantastic for the W Series and the eager spectators at Brands Hatch for the championship to come down to a final-round decider. This would prove to be a nervous weekend for the competitors - especially as the points leader was racing in front of her home crowd. Watch to see who took the final win of 2019 and who was crowned the first ever 'W Series' champion.
