Gosia Rdest

[2][3] Rdest entered car racing in 2012 when she, as reigning Polish Junior Karting Champion, was scouted by BMW Motorsport.

She would qualify fourth at the Norisring, but sustained front wing damage in a first-corner skirmish with Fabienne Wohlwend and finished 14th and a lap down.

A season-best sixth-place finish would follow at TT Circuit Assen, before 13th in the final round at Brands Hatch saw the Pole fail to automatically qualify for the 2020 W Series – ending the championship in 14th.

She would be announced as a reserve driver for 2021 W Series season and would fulfill her role replacing Tasmin Pepper at the Red Bull Ring.

[13] Rdest made her last W Series start at Spa-Francorchamps, deputising for unwell Irina Sidorkova – having narrowly avoided a pile-up in qualifying, she finished last in a wet race some 15 seconds behind second-last.
