Free Practice Sessions to be Offered to Beginners at Jeddah E-Prix

Rookie racers from motorsport championships will be offered free practice sessions at the upcoming women’s Jeddah E-Prix, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Racers can experience 40-minute sessions on Thursday, Feb 13th, from 4:00 PM to 4:40 PM. Teams must nominate their driver seven days prior to the event.

"It's a crucial next-step in fulfilling our commitment to nurturing the next generation of racing talent, including young women,” Alberto Longo, Co-Founder and Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, says.

Following the initial success of the inaugural women’s test in Madrid, organizers say this will also be an opportunity to try Formula E’s GEN3 Evo car, capable of going from 0 to 100 km in 1.82 seconds.

"Many of its current stars gained their first Formula E experience in one of these rookie sessions or tests,” says Pablo Martino, Head of Formula E Championship, FIA.

Races will take place on Friday, February 15th, and Saturday, February 16th. This is the first double header event for the GEN3 Evo Car.
