Rookie Free Practice set for Miami E-Prix weekend

Formula E will hold a Rookie Free Practice session on Friday 30th January, ahead of the upcoming Miami E-Prix. This is the fourth occasion that the championship has held the 40-minute session which aims to provide experienced racing talent from other motorsport championships valuable track time to discover the groundbreaking technology of Formula E’s GEN3 Evo car.

Key Features:

Exclusively for Rookies: Open to experienced racing drivers from other series, with a Free Practice Only e-Licence.
GEN3 Evo Experience: Offers hands-on experience with the latest Formula E technology, capable of 0-100km/h in 1.82s - 30% faster than a current F1 car.
Clearer Pathways: Supports Formula E and the FIA's commitment to developing future motorsport talent.

Teams must nominate a driver and allocate a race car number seven days prior to the event, meaning the exciting line-up will be revealed in the coming days.

This initiative follows the second Women's Test in Valencia in October, and further emphasises Formula E and the FIA's dedication to creating diverse and inclusive pathways for the next generation of racing drivers.
