W Series, the path-breaking all-female racing series, has ended its 2022 season with the scheduled final three races taken off the itinerary. Reason? The required funding due to the business from a recent contracted investment was not received.

The most recent W Series race event at Marina Bay Circuit in Singapore on 30 September – 2 October in support of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix has been therefore officially classified as the last race of the season.
