Formula E has announced that a second all-women’s test will take place on October 30, following the success of last year’s inaugural event.
At the Circuito Jarama in November, all Formula E teams had at least one female driver participating in an afternoon session, marking the end of the pre-season testing program. To commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8 and the theme of ‘Accelerate Action’, Formula E has announced that the upcoming test will consist of two sessions, ensuring a full day of on-track action. Up to 22 drivers will partake in the test, with teams mandated to field a minimum of one female driver as before. Formula E’s Co-Founder and Chief Championship Officer, Alberto Longo, expressed excitement over expanding the event to a full day of testing with two extensive sessions to further promote women in motorsport. The all-women’s test is a pivotal component of Formula E’s ongoing efforts to advance diversity and inclusivity in racing by offering equal opportunities and removing barriers for female participation. Through initiatives like the FIA Girls on Track program and the extended all-women’s test, Formula E aims to cultivate a more diverse and equitable future for motorsport by providing women with equal access to cutting-edge technology and resources.
