The series' return race at the Red Bull Ring after a years' hiatus was an incident-filled affair. Having qualified outside the top five, reigning champion
Jamie Chadwick was punted off the circuit on the second lap by
Jessica Hawkins, but would recover to finish in the points. Débutant
Belén García made a strong impression starting in the top three, but went off chasing team-mate
Sarah Moore for second.
Marta García broke down with a gearbox failure and the resulting safety car restart saw
Beitske Visser taken out of a podium position by
Emma Kimiläinen.
Alice Powell remained untroubled throughout, taking a wire-to-wire win ahead of Moore and
Fabienne Wohlwend, who avoided all the chaos to finish third having started ninth. Powell and Chadwick's fortunes turned around for the second round in Austria; the reigning champion cruised to her third series victory, whilst Powell finished eighth having qualified outside the top ten. Visser started on the front row, but stalled off the line and was unable to score any points.
Irina Sidorkova, the youngest driver on the grid, overtook multiple cars off the circuit at the first corner but went unpenalised, surviving a battle with Kimiläinen to finish second.
Bruna Tomaselli spent most of the race in fourth with a train of cars behind her, but Moore overhauled her in the closing stages. Powell qualified on pole for her home race at Silverstone, but was beaten off the front row by Wohlwend. The Liechtensteiner led the majority of the race until a safety car was deployed for
Miki Koyama, who stopped with a race-long mechanical issue. Wohlwend ran wide on the restart lap, and was overtaken by an ultimately victorious Powell. Chadwick rounded out the podium whilst
Abbi Pulling scored points in her first W Series race. Belén García was taken out of a points-paying position on the last lap by Hawkins. Chadwick claimed a commanding win in the fourth round of the season in Budapest, beating Powell by ten seconds in a mostly uneventful race.
Nerea Martí claimed her first W Series podium and moved into third in the standings having put together a consistent rookie season. Wohlwend's strong early-season form came to an abrupt end after breaking her front wing on the opening lap and becoming the only race retirement. The series' first trip to Spa-Francorchamps was dominated by a multi-car crash in qualifying. Changeable weather resulted in unexpected damp conditions at the Radillion de l'Eau Rouge complex, resulting in a pile-up involving Moore,
Abbie Eaton, Visser,
Ayla Ågren, Belén García and Wohlwend – team-mates Visser and Ågren were taken to hospital for precautionary checks and neither started the race. Emma Kimiläinen overtook Powell and Chadwick in extreme wet conditions to claim her first win of the season, with Chadwick second and Marta García taking her first podium since
her win at the Norisring with third. Powell won her third race of the season at the final European round in Zandvoort, drawing her level with Chadwick at the top of the championship. Kimiläinen continued her strong run by qualifying on pole position, but was overtaken by the two Brits early in the race. A lack of overtaking due to a design flaw with the
Formula Regional cars resulted in an uninspiring race, however Tomaselli did spin on the formation lap. The series ended with a double-header at the Circuit of the Americas, and Chadwick immediately gained the upper hand by qualifying on the front row for both races whilst Powell was mired at the back of the top ten. Chadwick won the race whilst Powell kept her title hopes alive having charged to a podium finish, overtaking her protégé Pulling – who claimed a shock pole position in just her third W Series race – in the closing stages. Eaton collided with a sausage kerb and fractured her T4 vertebrae, putting her out of the last race. Marta García also sat out the final heat suffering from
anxiety. In the final race, Chadwick claimed an emphatic lights-to-flag victory to seal her second title having only needed a top five finish to win the championship, with Powell unable to produce another Race 1-style fightback having been held up by Belén García. Local driver
Sabré Cook, who had been uncompetitive all season having struggled with a hip injury, was taken out of a points finish by Hawkins in the final laps. ==Results and standings==
