Formula E overcame a 220-mile logistical headache to put on its pre-season Jarama. Sam Smith explains the epic tale
Last Tuesday night at the Bernabeu stadium, a giant Valencian flag was unfurled by Real Madrid fans during their Champions League match against AC Milan, serving as a tribute to the recent flooding tragedy in Spain. Among the crowd were Formula E’s Alberto Longo and Nacho Calcedo, along with other colleagues who later paid homage with a minute’s silence and a €50,000 donation towards disaster relief. Formula E faced logistical challenges in relocating their pre-season test from Valencia to Jarama within five days, fearing the possibility of postponing the first round in Sao Paulo too. Despite initial setbacks, a military-style operation successfully moved equipment 220 miles to Circuito Jarama amid the devastating floods in Valencia. The rapid response and coordination by Formula E’s team ensured the continuity of their testing schedule, showcasing resilience and support for the affected communities. Formula E’s solidarity and swift actions highlighted the spirit of unity and proactive crisis management in the face of unexpected challenges.
