The Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia will be the official venue for the preseason testing of the ABB FIA Formula E 2025/2026 ABB World Championship this week, which will be held from October 27 to 31, and the best thing is that you will be able to access for free. The last two days, Thursday 30 and Friday 31, will be open house with free access for fans.
For five days, the 11 teams and 22 drivers that make up the grid of the electric single-seater world championship will develop their work programs at the Valencian track with the aim of preparing the next season and the verification of the performance of the Gen3 Evo cars.
The public will be able to attend the sessions on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st October free of charge, following the on-track activity from the pit box grandstand. To access, attendees must obtain a free nominative ticket through the official website of the Circuit.
In addition to the on-track monitoring, the organization has scheduled two ‘Pit Walks’ so that fans can access the pit lane and the pit area to see the work of the teams up close.
On Thursday, the Pit Walk will be held from 13:00 to 14:00 hours, while on Friday it will take place between 12:30 and 13:30 hours.
Women’s test on Friday
The final day of practice on Friday, October 31, will be entirely dedicated to the Formula E ‘Women’s Test’. This initiative, promoted by the FIA and the championship, celebrates its second edition and aims to promote female participation in international motorsport.
In this test, drivers selected by the official teams will carry out training sessions aboard the electric single-seaters.
Prior to this, testing will begin on Monday 27th with a single afternoon session (14:00-17:00). Tuesday and Wednesday will have a double session (09:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00), the same schedule as Thursday, the first day open to the public.
On Friday, the ‘Women’s Test’ will also be held in two sessions (09:00-12:00 hours and 14:00-17:00 hours).
