GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CHLOE CHAMBERS delivered a statement performance at Formula E’s second annual Women’s Test, posting the fastest time for Mahindra Racing at Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Her lap was just four-tenths off the benchmark set by Joel Eriksson across the entire four-day pre-season test – a remarkable achievement considering Eriksson has 10 Formula E starts under his belt while CHAMBERS was getting her first taste of the machinery.
  • The performance highlights what we’ve been saying all along: the talent is absolutely there. What’s been missing is access to the sophisticated coaching, data analytics, and seat time that male drivers take for granted. Formula E’s Women’s Test is the only program of its kind among FIA World Championships, giving elite female drivers direct access to manufacturer teams and engineering support.
  • Enter the game-changer: Formula E and Google Cloud are developing an AI-based Driver Agent that could finally level the playing field. This generative AI tool provides real-time performance feedback and personalized coaching that was previously exclusive to top-tier drivers with massive budgets. The system uses Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and can deliver insights via text or audio, enabling immediate adjustments and skill refinement for drivers regardless of their team size or resources.

UPCOMING:

  • Formula E Season 11 Championship
  • Next Women’s Test Program
