Formula E Announces Rookie Test for 2025

Formula E has unveiled plans for a rookie test scheduled for February 13, 2025, prior to the inaugural Jeddah E-Prix. This initiative will allow teams to introduce new talent while giving rookie drivers their first experience with the GEN3 Evo model. The test reinforces the championship’s dedication to building pathways for young racing talent and its commitment to nurturing the next generation of motorsport stars, highlighting past successful rookie events.

During the 40-minute session, each team will provide a car for a driver who has yet to race in Formula E, continuing a tradition aimed at developing emerging talent, including women in motorsport. Alberto Longo, Chief Championship Officer, expressed the importance of providing young racers with valuable experience through the cutting-edge technology of the GEN3 Evo car, known for its impressive acceleration capabilities. Teams must confirm their participating drivers and finalize race car numbers a week before the event, with details about the entry list expected to be announced shortly.
