On International Women’s Day, Formula E and the FIA have announced a second annual Women’s Test at Season 12 pre-season testing, with double the track time.
Following the success of the first ever all women test held at the Circuito Jarama, Madrid in 2024 and to celebrate this year’s IWD them to ‘Accelerate Action’ the event on the 30th October 2025 will see all 11 teams involved.
For a second year in a row, Formula E will offer a dedicated platform for up to 22 talented women to push the state-of-the-art Gen3 Evo race car to the limit.
The test will take place at the renowned Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain and is an integral part of the pre-season Official Collective tests schedule for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s Season 12.
Each of the 11 teams are required to field at least one women driver, with a focus on ensuring that women have access to the same state-of-the-art equipment and technical insights as their male counterparts.
Building on the success of last year’s pioneering all-women’s test, we’re excited to make the event even bigger and more impactful by extending it to a full day of testing involving two lengthy test sessions. Our goal is to continue breaking down the barriers to entry for women in motorsport and provide them with an equal opportunity to showcase their skills, driving the same cutting-edge technology as the rest of our championship drivers.
Alberto Longo, Co-Founder and Chief Championship Officer.
Developing the next generation of Formula E drivers is a cornerstone of our focus in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, and as part of this strategy, we are also committed to foster diversity and inclusion. With this expanded initiative, we keep working with Formula E towards offering a level playing field for women and men’s drivers.
Pablo Martino, Head of Formula E, FIA.
