Formula E Continues to Make History With First-Ever All-Women Test

As Formula E held their Madrid tests this week, they held a very special session. A women only test. The first-of-its-kind test provided the most elite women drivers on Earth the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the all-electric GEN 3 Evo race car. A car capable of 0-60 times of a mere 1.82 seconds, an incredible 30% faster than the current F1 car.

Circuito del Jarama in Madrid, Spain hosted 18 of the most elite women in motorsports on Friday. One of those women was three-time W Series Champion and most recent female INDY NXT winner Jamie Chadwick and Formula E’s first-ever female points earner Simona de Silvestro.
