CHLOE CHAMBERS Smashes Formula E Test Times, Just 0.4s Off Main Series Pace

October 31, 2025

• CHLOE CHAMBERS absolutely demolished the Formula E women’s test at Valencia, topping both morning and afternoon sessions with a blistering 1:22.767 that was just four-tenths slower than the fastest lap from the entire main pre-season test. The F1 Academy standout didn’t just beat the women’s field – she outpaced actual Formula E rookie Pepe Marti’s second session time, proving these women belong on track with the main series drivers.
• ABBI PULLING delivered exactly what we’ve come to expect from her, slotting into second overall for Nissan and staying within striking distance of Chambers’ pace by just 0.064 seconds in the afternoon. Meanwhile, BIANCA BUSTAMANTE rounded out the podium positions, showing the depth of talent in this test wasn’t just about the top spot – multiple women were running competitive times that would make the main series take notice.
• Even when things went sideways, the women showed their resilience – ALICE POWELL fought back from a technical issue that cost her afternoon track time to still claim fourth fastest, while JAMIE CHADWICK logged solid running in sixth. The fact that the top seven drivers were separated by less than a second despite varying experience levels with the Gen3 Evo proves this wasn’t about luck or perfect conditions – it was pure skill on display.
