Just make it an F1 support series for half the European events.
Probably to give W series a lifeline if it can pull itself up.
They've creamed off a few of the W drivers who have some real promise.
But the cost will be phenomenal.
If they had made the series a support class for the NZ Toyota regional series the girls would have a five round series with 3 races in five weeks and the focus or attention of the entire globe because there's nothing much else happening at that time.

Then give them three races in Bahrain during F1 testing and three races at the Bahrain GP as a support class and they have had 21 races and the year is just starting!
All at a fraction of the cost the present program will cost.....
