Formula E Gen4 pre-season test set for Madrid in November

Formula E will hold its official pre-season test for the Gen4 era at the Circuito del Jarama in Madrid from 16 to 20 November. It marks the public track debut of the next-generation car ahead of the 2027 season. The 3.915-kilometre circuit will host 18 hours of running across Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with morning and afternoon sessions each day.

Two full-grid race simulations are planned, one on Wednesday afternoon in the traditional E-Prix format and one on Friday afternoon in the newly introduced E-Prix Unleashed structure. Ahead of the Madrid running, seven teams took part in a private collective Gen4 test at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, organised by FETAMA.

Several driver moves ahead of the 2027 campaign were also highlighted, including Maximilian Günther joining Envision alongside Zak O'Sullivan and Stoffel Vandoorne joining Jaguar.
