W Series released a list of potential entrants: https://www.motorsport.com/w-series/news/wseries-preliminary-driver-list/4305372/ No Florsch (not sure how long she'll be recovering), no Deegan, otherwise I don't see anyone missing. There are several drivers in their 30s, which seems too old for this sort of thing. Also Carmen Jorda is on the list, ugh.

McGuinty posted:I have one but it’s a family heirloom that was passed down to me by my grandfather before he passed away. I don’t think it has much value beyond the sentimental. That's the best reason to have one, I'd say. You can't buy sentimental value. Also, you'd be surprised on the actual value. Depending on the make and the date of build, some of them can bring a fair amount of money. A former coworker of mine inherited his great-grandfather's pocket watch that was a retirement gift from the railroad he worked for, and it turned out to be a relatively rare watchmaker that made high quality pieces and got bought out at some point and the brand was retired. It looked like an ordinary pocket watch, but he auctioned it for over 10k. Since he had no connection to his great-grandfather he sold it, but I can definitely understand wanting to keep something that holds actual meaning to you. Pvt.

Unfortunately she's been so vocal about this topic I'm sure she'll find a way to get a drive, even if it's just to get more medi attention on the series. But that will make it satisfying to see her at the bottom of the lap times.

I've been googling some of the unfamiliar names on that list and there are several women who like, raced in F4 for half a season a couple years ago and then ran out of funding, but are still in their teens. It would be a shame if Jorda (who we've already established is garbage) got an opportunity ahead of someone who may have fallen through the cracks.
