Formula E’s rookie test returns later this month, with a host of motorsport talent getting a chance to jump behind the wheel of the championship’s GEN3 Evo. Hosted after the 2026 CUPRA Raval Madrid E-Prix, each team will field two rookies for the day long event on Sunday 22 March.
The rookie test is a fantastic opportunity to try out Formula E's all-electric machinery first-hand. With the grid always being packed to the brim with such a high standard of talent, finding a seat can be a challenge - so much so, the Formula E field is considered one of the best in motorsport. The test allows talented drivers from different motorsport disciplines to gain valuable track time and the prospect of catching the attention of teams in the paddock.
Since Formula E started holding the rookie test, several drivers have made the step up to a full-time race seat. Current drivers, Nick Cassidy, Norman Nato and Joel Eriksson qualified as rookies in the 2020 rookie test and are now considered some of the brightest stars on the grid. And they're not the only ones, IndyCar race winners Colton Herta and Kyle Kirkwood, as well as World Endurance champion, Antonio Giovinazzi and W Series champion, Jamie Chadwick, all made an impact at previous Formula E rookie tests.
