Motorsport and esports fans will be pleased to learn that the BBC has now acquired the exclusive broadcasting rights to the female-only W Series Esports. All 10 races are planned to be shown across the BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button, and BBC Sports Website, with a 90-minute show to commence each Thursday.

Commenting on the upcoming series of events, Catherine Bond Muir, W Series Chief Executive Officer, said: "We want the brand-new W Series Esports League to be intensely competitive, serious and authentic". She further added: "Our partnerships with Logitech G, Beyond Entertainment and iRacing are going a long way to help us realise that ambition, and this new partnership with the BBC takes us further still. The W Series Esports League can open both W Series and the world of esports to a wider audience, and the BBC's unrivalled experience, trusted voice and diverse platforms will be the perfect conduit for that."
