Come Sunday afternoon at Brands Hatch, women’s motor sport will have its newest champion. When the W Series championship reaches its final round it will have successfully completed the first part of its aim of promoting women in racing and the grander ambition of finally returning a female driver to Formula One.
For the chief executive, Catherine Bond Muir, the moment will be celebratory but only the end of a long beginning since she started trying to find a way to bring more women into racing with the W Series concept. “Three years of planning for a three-month racing season,” she says. “But what a way to make history.”
