Formula E has announced the second day of the 2024 pre-season test at Valencia will not go ahead following a fire on Tuesday’s first day of running
The second day of the 2024 pre-season test at Valencia has been canceled due to a fire that occurred on the first day. The fire broke out in the box occupied by battery provider WAE. Wednesday’s track activity was postponed as a result of the incident. The fire was believed to have been caused by the Gen3 battery taken out of the DS Penske car during the morning session. The garage was damaged, but the situation was contained following the activation of emergency procedures. A member of WAE was taken to the hospital for precautionary checks but was released without treatment. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and Formula E hopes to resume on-track activities from Thursday, pending confirmation. This setback is significant for Formula E and its teams, who were testing the series’ new fast-charging energy boosters.
