One-time Formula 1 race starter and current DTM driver Jack Aitken will lead the line-up of rookie drivers in next week’s Formula E pre-season test at Valencia.
In a new rule announced ahead of the 2024 season, all Formula E teams are obligated to run a newcomer in each car for at least one session across three days of running on 24-27 October. Most teams have opted for the same drivers they ran at the Berlin rookie test and/or the Rome rookie practice session, with Aitken reprising his role at last year’s championship-winning Envision team.
Two-time World Touring Car Cup Champion Yann Ehrlacher, who made his FE debut in Rome rookie practice for DS Penske, will switch to Maserati for the Valencia test. Ehrlacher will only get one session in Maximilian Gunther’s car on 25 October, with the team’s second entry to be driven across all six sessions by new recruit Jehan Daruvala, who fulfills FE’s rookie criteria.
