Formula E Announces First All-Women Test Day

Formula E will host its first all-women test session on November 7, 2024, at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, aiming to enhance diversity and equality in motorsport. Each of the 11 teams must field at least one female driver during this unique half-day event, with encouragement to include two drivers, all testing the new GEN3 Evo race car, which can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 1.82 seconds. This initiative is intended to provide elite female racers an opportunity to showcase their skills and potentially pave the way for greater involvement in the series, where only three women have raced since its inception. In addition to the test, Formula E will also run an extended FIA Girls on Track program, allowing 400 local young women to engage with female drivers and participate in workshops. The series aims to dismantle structural inequalities within motorsport and promote women’s visibility and career development in the industry. The full roster of participating female drivers will be announced in the coming weeks.
