Formula E shares full list of young drivers to take part in free practice session in Miami EPrix, which features two female drivers.
What: Formula E Rookie Free Practice
Location: Miami International Autodrome
When: Friday 30 January 2026 | 14:30 local – 19:30 UTC
Duration: 40 Minutes
The Goal: Giving talent from other motorsport disciplines a taste of Formula E machinery. Many previous participants have used this session to secure permanent seats on the grid.
Ahead of the highly-anticipated Miami E-Prix, Formula E will host a 40-minute Rookie Free Practice on Friday 30 January. Following the success of previous sessions in Rome, Misano and Jeddah, the event returns and allows ‘rookie’ drivers a chance to get behind the wheel of the current generation of Formula E cars, the GEN3 Evo.
The session is a fantastic opportunity for talent to show their skills at a World Championship level, as well as impressing the 10 teams and manufacturers across the paddock. There’s a great record of rookies becoming full-time drivers from sessions like these, providing a vital stepping stone for emerging talent. This initiative follows the second Women’s Test Formula E held over Valencia Pre-Season Testing 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.
