Emma Kimiläinen overtook the top two drivers in the W Series championship standings to win a breathless fifth race of the 2021 season at a rain-soaked Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and move into title contention.

Defending champion Jamie Chadwick edged out title rival Alice Powell to take pole position for the fifth round of the 2021 W Series season at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

Hungary, where round four of the 2021 W Series season will be held this weekend, is over 1,000 miles from the series' UK base. However, for Caitlin Wood – who will race for the first time this season at the Hungaroring – it is 10,000 miles from her home in Australia.

Beitske Visser produced a record-breaking performance at Autódromo José Carlos Pace, Interlagos, Brazil, to extend her lead at the top of the W Series Esports League. The Dutch driver won the first and third races from pole position, came from last on the grid to second in the reverse-grid race, and set the fastest lap in all three races to score 60 points out of a possible 63 – a record total for a single W Series Esports League round.
 

Irina Sidorkova won the final two of three races at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit, Kent, UK, to keep up the pressure on Beitske Visser at the top of the W Series Esports League table.
