GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Friday’s Valencia test brings together an impressive field of 14 women across 10 Formula E teams, with four squads running both cars as they finalize prep for the 2025-26 season opener in São Paulo. The lineup reads like a who’s who of women’s motorsport – two F1 Academy champions, a three-time W Series winner, and drivers spanning everything from Super Formula to GT4, proving the depth of talent ready to make the electric transition.
- ABBI PULLING returns as the one to beat after topping times at last year’s inaugural women’s test at Jarama, now embedded deeper with Nissan’s development program including simulator work. Meanwhile, 2023 F1 Academy champion MARTA GARCIA gets her Valencia homecoming with Lola Yamaha, and JAMIE CHADWICK continues her Jaguar partnership alongside Super Formula’s JUJU NODA, showing how teams are seriously investing in these relationships beyond one-off publicity drives.
- The entry list spans the globe and racing disciplines – from LINDSAY BREWER making her Formula E debut with DS Penske after impressing in Lamborghini Super Trofeo, to established testers like ALICE POWELL returning with Envision. What’s telling is how teams are using these sessions for actual development work rather than just box-ticking, with Nissan’s race director calling Pulling’s program “vital” for São Paulo preparation.
