Palmowski completes maiden FIA Formula E test at Jarama

08 November 2024

GB4 Championship runner-up Alisha Palmowski gained her first mileage in FIA Formula E machinery on Friday. 

The 18-year-old British star gained valuable running in a new environment with the Envision Racing squad, in the all-women test at the Spanish circuit.

Despite missing the first hour of the three-hour test with car issues, Palmowski was still able to get to grips with the Jaguar I-Type 7 machine, completing 24 laps of the former Spanish Grand Prix venue.

"Tricky day - I unfortunately lost the first hour of testing as changes were made to the car and a red flag during the session meant I didn’t get the opportunity to do an X350 (max power) run, and only managed to complete two push laps in limited running," she said. 

"One thing's for sure - the final lap-times don’t tell the full story! Nevertheless, it has been a great experience and we showed good potential - just needed a few more laps! 

"A huge thank you to everyone at Envision Racing and Formula E for all the hard work and for the amazing opportunity!"
