The three drivers will join the 18 drivers who have qualified to race in the on-track W Series this year, all of whom are expected to take part in the W Series Esports League.
Working with Logitech G, Beyond Entertainment and iRacing, W Series will stage W Series Esports League races on 10 circuits in the world, and up to three races of varying lengths/durations will be run at each of these circuits.
