Jak Crawford and Thomas Preining have completed the line-up for the Formula E rookie test at next week’s Jeddah E-Prix weekend.
American driver Crawford, serving as Andretti’s reserve driver, will participate in his second rookie test for the team, following last year’s appearance at the Berlin E-Prix. Austrian Preining, on the other hand, will make his third test outing for Tag Heuer Porsche. Crawford is juggling his reserve duties at Aston Martin’s F1 team with a full-time Formula 2 seat with DAMS Lucas Oil, marking his third year in the feeder category. Preining, a Porsche works driver and the 2023 DTM Champion, was also a reserve driver for the team in Season 6 of the FE series. Both Crawford and Preining previously participated in team outings in Berlin and Marrakech. Crawford expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity, looking forward to testing the GEN3 Evo’s acceleration and all-wheel-drive system at the familiar Jeddah Corniche track. Andretti’s Team Principal Griffiths highlighted the importance of Crawford’s participation in Free Practice 0 and getting more comfortable with the car for potential race driver substitutions.
