Thursday 11 September, 2025: Formula E and the FIA today confirmed that the second iteration of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship All-Women’s Test will take place in Valencia, Spain, on Friday 31 October 2025, as part of the official pre-season test programme ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Following the historic, world-first debut ahead of Season 11 last year, the dedicated test returns with double the track time available for up to 20 elite women drivers, with all 10 Formula E teams taking part. Each driver will run the current GEN3 Evo race car, the same car raced by official Formula E drivers and supported by the same team infrastructure as their championship counterparts.
The initiative underscores Formula E and the FIA’s long-term commitment to accelerating diversity and equality in motorsport, from grassroots to the highest levels.
Each team in the championship is required to field at least one woman driver for the full-day session, with teams having the option to enter two women drivers, all competing in current-season cars. This historic test continues to attract top talent from across motorsport.
Last season’s inaugural test created meaningful pathways, with five women going on to secure rookie or official development roles, with three moving into permanent ongoing positions within Formula E teams.
In parallel, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will also host a special edition of the FIA Girls on Track programme on the same day as the all-women’s test for up to 100 local young women, offering hands-on educational workshops and the chance to meet the drivers and teams, building visibility, engagement and pathways for women looking to enter the motorsport ecosystem.
