Sorry if I offended you Gloria but I was being ironic.

Only the Race is shown? No youtube streams for practice and qualifying? DTM usually covers every session live on youtube, so all the W series must be filmed too I imagine

Your prayers have been answered as all regions without a broadcasting deal will have the races streamed to Facebook and Twitter. (no mention of the other sessions)

BTW, here's all the regions with broadcast deals (minus the UK for some reason): https://wseries.com/w-hub/where-to-watch/

There's a stream on Twitter btw... looks like it might be an interesting restart given that Chadwick seems to have Fanboost compared to the others and she's currently not in the lead

Whose genius idea was it to have so many identical liveries?

It doesn't really matter because next time the cars (and mechanics) will all be swapped around. So you wouldn't have any chance of picking out the drivers by livery anyway.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

That's quite a good idea to ensure equal equipment, but I think they could do some work on driver identification, even if it is just making the numbers bigger.

Ok race, although it just felt like a regular F3 race. Why not make the race 45 minutes or 1 hour? 6 half hour races is not much of a schedule. Or another race on Sunday. At least if they want this to be a serious championship and not just another step in the single seater ladder. They just cleaned it up a bit with F4>F3>F2>F1 and now they are forking away from that again.

I also find it strange how there are so few races. It doesn't exactly give the drivers much of a chance to prove themselves.

It was a decent race though and better than what the same cars usually produce in the Asian championship.

F3-level racing hasn't exactly been cleaned up. We've gone from having GP3, Euroformula Open, European F3 & British "F3" to FIA F3, Regional F3 (of which there are three series in Europe when there should only be one), Euroformula Open & British "F3". And the old European F3 was going to continue as well before it was cancelled. So there are now more series than before, therefore further diluting this level of the sport.

It's a new series, I rather them start slow than being over-optimistic and having too many races with poor quality. And don't forget that there are no entry fees and they're paying for flights and accomodation.

Well done, Kimiläinen! Hope she crashes less than when she ran STCC. Surprised by her performance actually.
