Eastern Spain experienced a year’s worth of rainfall in the space of just eight hours.
Formula E has officially canceled next week’s pre-season test and the all-female test in Valencia due to devastating flash flooding in eastern Spain. The event will now be held at Circuito del Jarama in Madrid. The flash floods have caused significant damage in Valencia, with over 150 people confirmed dead and many others missing. Videos on social media show the extent of the flooding and destruction, with over 100,000 homes without power. Formula E employees who were at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo during the rain are all safe, but the test showcasing the new Gen3 Evo cars has been postponed. The decision to relocate the tests to Madrid was made in consultation with local authorities and the FIA. Our thoughts are with the Valencia community, and we are committed to supporting them during this difficult time.
