  • Envision Racing name Lloyd for Rookie Test

    Ella Lloyd will once again get behind the wheel of the GEN3 Evo, representing Envision Racing at the upcoming Madrid Rookie Test on March 22nd.

    Lloyd from Wales, began racing competitively in 2022 in the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing in the points at 15 of the 25 races that season. The following year, she competed in the Ginetta GT Championship, earning the vice-champion title in a competitive field.

    At the beginning of 2024, Ella competed in the Formula Winter Series, taking the Female Driver Trophy multiple times. The same year, she competed in British F4, completing the season with three P2 results, one P3 and multiple points finishes.

    In 2025, Ella competed in F1 Academy, finishing the season 4th in the championship with 109 points and has returned for her second season this year.

    Madrid will mark Ella’s fourth opportunity to drive Formula E machinery – her second representing Envision Racing.

    I’m really looking forward to driving the Formula E car again with Envision Racing. The test last year in Valencia was a fantastic experience and I learnt a great deal from the  team. I’m excited to build on that progress and continue developing in Madrid.
    Lloyd on the news.

    We are delighted to  welcome Ella back to the team for the Madrid rookie test. She demonstrated impressive pace during her first outing in Valencia. This test will be a great opportunity for her to continue that progress and further integrate with the team.

  • Porsche reveal drivers for Rookie Test

    Porsche has confirmed Ayhancan Guven and Elia Weiss for the Madrid Rookie Test on Sunday 22nd March.

    Reigning DTM champion, Ayhancan Guven will get his third opportunity behind the wheel of the GEN3 Evo in the Madrid Rookie Test.
    The 28 year old previously took part part in the Miami Rookie Free Practice session earlier in the season, as well as the Berlin Rookie Test held last July.
    During the test, Guven took the second fastest time of the day – an impressive feat against a highly talented field.

    Joining Guven, and completing Porsche’s line up for the test, is 16 year old Elia Weiss. Last year, Weiss became the youngest driver to test Formula E machinery, having celebrated his 16th Birthday just three weeks before last year’s Berlin Rookie Test.
    The youngster has just finished his first season in the UAE4 Series (the successor of the F4 Middle East Championship).
