ROKiT Phones has agreed a multi-year partnership to become the first major sponsor of women’s motorsport W Series’.
From 2020, all 20 cars and drivers clothing in the W Series will feature ROKiT’s branding –the biggest deal since the series’ was launched last year.

ROKiT chairman Jonathan Kendrick has praised the progress of the W Series so far and called it a natural fit.
“We’ve been amazed by the progress made and the success achieved by W Series since it smashed into the world of motorsport, and we really want to be a big part of its future as it develops over the next few years.
W Series chief executive Catherine Bond Muir has also welcomed the partnership.
“As a high-tech, disruptive, customer-focused brand, ROKiT sits comfortably alongside W Series and its mission to change the face of motorsport and we’re delighted that we’ll be racing together in the coming years.”
