Overview
- The one-day programme features two three-hour runs, doubling last year’s track time from the inaugural event.
- An international entry includes Jamie Chadwick with Juju Noda for Jaguar, Alice Powell with Ella Lloyd at Envision, Abbi Pulling for Nissan, Chloe Chambers at Mahindra, and Bianca Bustamante for Cupra Kiro.
- Four teams opted to run both cars, producing a 14-car field as squads complete preparations for the 2025–26 season.
- Nissan race director Dorian Boisdron called the Valencia running a crucial part of preparation, citing limited test days and the need to use every minute of track time.
- F1 Academy contenders shifted from this week’s Bahrain test, with Chambers (Mahindra) and Lloyd (Envision) skipping the final day to take part in Valencia as the initiative continues Formula E’s long-term pathway for female drivers.
