Fabienne Wohlwend

**Fabienne Wohlwend** (born 7 November 1997 in Vaduz, Liechtenstein) is a Liechtenstein born racing driver, who competes in the 2020 BRSCC W Series Championship, using #5 as her race number. A founding member of the W Series, **Wohlwend** would impress enough in 2019 to secure a seat for 2020, having finished sixth in the Championship with 51 points.

## Background

After a junior career spent in karting across Switzerland and her native Liechtenstein, Wohlwend would get her first race car seat, entering the Italian F4 Championship in 2016. Unfortunately it would be a turbulent season for Wohlwend, as she failed to qualify for the first round, before failing to score any points. After that, Wohlwend moved into the Audi Sport TT Cup for the 2017 season, battling to eleventh in the Championship.

### A Liechtenstein Legend: 2018 - 2019

For 2018 Wohlwend would move to the Ferrari Challenge Europe, where she claimed her first win in an international series, while also racing in several Audi TT Cup rounds. For 2018 Wohlwend committed to FCE full time, and duly claimed two more wins to claim second in the Championship. She subsequently concluded the season with a run to victory in the Finali Mondiali Pro-Am class, becoming the first female World Champion on four wheels.

## W Series History

Wohlwend was among the original 55 drivers to submit an entry to the 2019 Driver Evaluation Programme, and duly managed to secure a full season seat for the 2019 BRSCC W Series Championship. She duly debuted at the 2019 Hockenheim Race, and would go onto finish sixth after fighting in the points throughout the race. For the following round in Zolder Wohlwend would secure a front row start, although after a poor start she would slip down to seventh at the finish.

However, it was at the following round in Misano that Wohlwend claimed a little bit of history, becoming the first Liechtensteiner to claim pole position in an FIA sanctioned F3 race since Ricky von Opel in 1971. Yet, once again a poor start proved to be her downfall, as she was jumped by Jamie Chadwick and Beitske Visser, although she would go on to claim her maiden podium in the W Series. Wohlwend once again fought at the front of the field at the 2019 Norisring Race, although ultimately had settle for fourth after a late challenge from Emma Kimiläinen.

Unfortunately for Wohlwend her form would desert her in Assen, as she broke her nose fighting with Gosia Rdest, and subsequently dropped to the back of the field. However, she would rally back at the season finale at Brands Hatch, claiming fifth behind Champion Jamie Chadwick. That left Wohlwend in sixth in the Championship at the end of the season, and hence secured an automatic qualification spot for the following season.

### Steps Forward?: 2020

Wohlwend confirmed that she would take her automatically gained seat in the 2020 W Series.
