GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ Returns for Third Year Testing Porsche’s Formula E Car

October 28, 2025

• GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ solidifies her position as a core piece of Porsche’s Formula E puzzle, returning for her third consecutive year of testing duties with the 99X Electric. While the headlines focus on the fancy new camouflage livery, we’re here for the real story: a woman driver who’s become integral to the reigning champions’ development program.
• Beyond her Formula E simulator work, JÍLKOVÁ has been putting Porsche’s electric tech through its paces across multiple platforms – from setting records at Shelsley Walsh hill climb to piloting the Cayenne prototype at Goodwood. It’s the kind of diverse testing portfolio that shows Porsche trusts her feedback across their entire EV ecosystem, not just as a token presence.
• The Valencia testing sessions mark another step in Formula E’s pre-season buildup, where teams fine-tune their tech before December’s Brazil opener. For JÍLKOVÁ, it’s another chance to prove that the best simulator drivers earn their seats through performance, not politics – and Porsche’s continued faith in her speaks volumes about her contributions to their championship-winning formula.
