After a three-day on-track test at Almeria (southern Spain) last month, and a rigorous lap-time assessment and data-analysis programme thereafter, W Series has selected six new drivers who appear in the photo.
They will now race alongside the 12 drivers who automatically qualified for the 2020 W Series championship as a result of having finished in the top 12 positions in the 2019 W Series championship.
The 18 confirmed drivers for the 2020 W Series championship are therefore as follows.
Jamie Chadwick (GBR), 21 – (1st in the 2019 W Series championship)
