The all-female W Series is discussing a move outside Europe, and a potential North American double-header supporting Formula One races in the United States and Mexico, as part of an expanded second season.
Former F1 race winner David Coulthard, who heads the advisory board for the series and is a long-time friend of chairman and major shareholder Sean Wadsworth, said talks with Formula One were ongoing.
"Along with the great support we've had from the FIA, Formula One are keen for us to be operating on their platform as well," the Scot said at a business event on Tuesday.
