Formula E will hold a practice session for rookie drivers before the Jeddah E-Prix on February 13, part of the 2024-25 season. This 40-minute session is for drivers new to Formula E and follows a successful Women’s test session in Jarama last November. Co-founder Alberto Longo highlights the importance of nurturing young talent, including women, with this dedicated practice opportunity. Teams will nominate one driver for the test using a different car number, and must confirm participation at least seven days in advance. Formula E aims to support young drivers by providing such opportunities, with previous rookie sessions and in-season tests contributing to the championship’s growth. The Jeddah E-Prix will introduce in-race charging, with one race requiring a 30-second pit stop for an additional 10% usable energy.
