Formula E has confirmed that Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo is unharmed despite recent flash floods in the region, with no signs of damage reported as authorities deal with the aftermath of the devastating natural disaster that killed at least 62 people and left 150,000 homes without power. The nearby town of Chiva experienced more than a year’s worth of rain in less than half a day, causing widespread chaos in the area, affecting transportation, infrastructure, and residents. Despite the challenges posed by the floods, Formula E is proceeding with its pre-season testing scheduled at the circuit next week, with teams’ freight en route to the track and preparations ongoing. The series is working closely with local authorities and circuit representatives to ensure the safety and logistics of the upcoming test, as proper measures are taken to address the impact of the burst river bank on the main access road to the circuit. As the situation in Valencia continues to be monitored, efforts are being made to assess and address any issues that may affect the planned Formula E testing, underscoring the importance of safety and coordination in light of the recent natural disaster that has gripped the region.
