A few weeks ago, ABB FIA Formula E announced an upcoming all-women testing event which would see several women take to the wheel during the Championships mandatory testing event ahead of Season 11.
Next week, the first-of-its-kind test will take place in Madrid at Circuito del Jarama and for those taking part, they will have the opportunity to drive the Season 11 (2024/25) GEN3 Evo race car.
To support the test, each Championship team was required to provide at least one female for half a day of testing, and some teams have opted to provide two women with this unique opportunity.
This initiative and drive from Formula E is a momentous step forward and highlights their commitment to diversity and their pledge to provide women with opportunities to succeed within the sport.
With the event just days away, we’ve summarised everything you need to know about the women taking part…
The 2024 Constructors Champions recently confirmed their representatives - Jamie Chadwick and Lilou Wadoux.
Jamie is a trailblazer within motorsport and this event will add to her collective achievements. INDY NXT driver, Jamie has one race win and two podiums under her belt this season and when not competing, she is a development driver for Williams Racing.
Alongside Jamie will be Ferrari Factory Driver, Lilou Wadoux. Despite being just 23-years old, Lilou has many incredible achievements including being the first woman to ever win an FIA World Endurance Championship race and the first woman to drive a Le Mans Hypercar. She is currently a driver for Richard Mille AF Corse within the IMSA SportsCar Championship (LMP2 Classification).
