Veloce Racing rolls into Zandvoort for second half of W Series double-header
Veloce Racing returns to the track this weekend (3-4 September) for Round 6 of W Series as battle is set to resume at the fast and flowing circuit of Zandvoort, Netherlands.
The Formula 1 package returns to the recently reprofiled Dutch circuit for the first time in 36-years and this time round, the all-female W Series championship is joining the support bill for a weekend of non-stop action.
During a dramatic and mixed conditions event at Spa-Francorchamps last weekend, Jamie Chadwick extended her championship advantage to seven points by claiming a hard-fought second-place finish.
Yet another dominant display in qualifying saw the reigning champion set a lap time seven-tenths clear of the chasing pack to take her third pole position of the season.
Chadwick followed up her strong Friday form with her fourth podium from five rounds in 2021. A near-perfect start meant the 23-year-old enjoyed a comfortable margin for much of the race but Emma Kimiläinen would ultimately overhaul the Veloce Racing driver and snatch victory in the closing stages.
Further down the field, Bruna Tomaselli was one of many drivers caught out by the treacherous conditions at the iconic Belgian circuit.
Having qualified competitively in 10th, the Brazillian rookie would suffer a two-place grid penalty for a pit lane infringement to line up 12th for the race. Following an impressive demonstration in defensive driving, Tomaselli fell victim to the challenging track conditions, tumbling down the order and ultimately finishing 15th.
Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing commented: “It’s a great feeling to be going racing again so soon after the last event. Although I was disappointed not to take the win at Spa, it was a good result overall because we extended our lead in the championship.
“I’m really looking forward to driving here at Zandvoort. It’s a really challenging circuit and the banked corners look like they’ll add an extra element to the racing.”
Bruna Tomaselli, Driver, Veloce Racing commented: “After a tricky weekend at Spa I’m really going to enjoy the opportunity to bounce back immediately here in the Netherlands. I’m still hunting that first podium and I think this would be a great place to get the job done!
“The track looks incredible. The profiling they have done to add banking to some of the corners should be really exciting to drive and having multiple cars going through these corners is going to be great to watch!”
Mariella Bailey, Team Principal, Veloce Racing commented: “From one iconic track in Belgium to another in the Netherlands, what an amazing double-header we have on our hands here! For Formula 1 to be heading back to Zandvoort after so many years is going to be really special.
“Both Jamie and Bruna have done an amazing job so far this season and this race presents another opportunity to show what we’re made of. Extending the championship lead even further has to be the target for Jamie and Bruna will be targeting more points and maybe even a podium!”
This weekend’s W Series schedule sees practice run from 11:55 to 12:25 on Friday, 3 September, followed by a 30-minute qualifying session at 15:30. The race – set to last 30 minutes plus one lap – will start at 15:30 on Saturday, 4 September. British fans can watch Round 6 on Channel 4 from 14:00 on Saturday, while supporters around the world can keep up to date by visiting W Series’ digital and social channels.

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
