PUMA, Veloce, M. Forbes, Bunker: Meet the first teams joining the W Series
“We hold an unwavering amount of respect for W Series and what it has achieved for women in motorsport. For some time now, we have been looking for a platform to help us globally announce our main business while allowing us to support and promote female automotive enthusiasts. W Series is a natural fit for us and provides a unique opportunity to challenge social norms and inspire individuals to pursue their passions along the way. W Series is leading, creating and driving cultural change in motorsport, a compelling proposition to pass onto our partners and one we’re proud to be a part of.” - David Bren (Founder, Bunker Racing)
“We have been tracking the remarkable progress of W Series for some time and exploring ways of being a part of its ongoing success. We are incredibly excited to join W Series in 2021 with a long-term commitment to supporting the series that is promoting women in the motorsport and automotive industries. The dial is shifting and it’s time for women to take the spotlight in motorsport and all fields traditionally dominated by men. We cannot wait to get the season underway and witness these talented women go from strength to strength as professional racing drivers, inspiring young girls to take up karting along the way.” - Miguel Forbes (Founder, M. Forbes Motorsport).
“The partnership with W Series is thriving. PUMA has already designed – for the very first time – tailormade race suits for W Series’ female drivers to ensure a perfect fit. Now, being able to announce our own race team with W Series is a fantastic second step. We want to show our full commitment to empowering women all around the world to get inspired by W Series’ drivers.” - James Clark (Head of Sports Marketing Motorsport & Operations, PUMA).
“As a competition that showcases the very best female racers and consistently delivers top quality action, W Series is the perfect platform for Veloce. Veloce has a passion for pushing boundaries, demonstrated by our thriving esports set-up and pioneering Extreme E team, and entering W Series is another significant step in marking us out as a forward-thinking, disruptive presence in motorsport.” - Rupert Svendsen-Cook (Team Manager, Veloce).
