Formula E will once again be organising a test session just for Formula E newcomers this year as part of the Miami E-Prix. A 40-minute "0th free practice session" will take place on Friday, 30 January. We will update this news ticker regularly and list all drivers as soon as they have been confirmed by the teams.

>>> Giusti to drive for Jaguar

[01/23 | 10:30 am] Jaguar has confirmed French driver Alessandro Giusti to be driving for them during the rookie training in Miami. The Frenchman already drove one of the Formula E cars in Berlin as part of the rookie test in 2025, but at that time it was one of the Lola Yamaha ABT cars.

>>> Nissan confirms Mini & Pulling

[01/23 | 08:00 am] Nissan is the first team to confirm two rookies for the "Free Practice 0" session in Miami: Gabriele Mini and Abbi Pulling will get behind the wheel for the team of the reigning drivers' world champion in Florida. For the first time this season, the FIA is allowing a team to field two cars in rookie practice; in the past, teams were always limited to one car. e-formula.news also reported on this change to the sporting regulations last year.

>>> Zak O'Sullivan drives for Envision

[01/22 | 5:45 pm] Envision Racing has also announced its driver for rookie training in Miami: Zak O'Sullivan will once again take his place in the Gen3 Evo car. The Brit, who is competing in his second season in the Japanese Super Formula this year, drove the team's Jaguar powered car in both the rookie training in Jeddah and the rookie test in Berlin last year.

>>> Lola Yamaha ABT puts Hugh Barter in the driver's seat

[01/22 | 09:00 am] The next announcement for rookie training in Miami: Hugh Barter will take his place in the Lola Yamaha ABT. The Australian-Japanese racing driver drove a Formula E car for the first time at the 2023 rookie test in Berlin at the age of 17, then for Maserati. Last year, Barter drove for Lola Yamaha ABT again at the rookie test. He is also the team's official simulator driver.

>>> Indy NXT champion Dennis Hauger drives for Andretti

[01/21 | 6:00 pm] Andretti has announced that Dennis Hauger will be driving the team's car. The Norwegian, who won the Indy NXT championship with Andretti last year and will make his IndyCar debut in a few weeks, already drove a Gen3 car at the rookie test in Berlin in 2024. At that time, however, Hauger was driving for the Porsche factory team.

>>> Cupra Kiro fields Pepe Marti

[01/21 | 11:00 am] No surprises at Cupra Kiro: the team is fielding its regular driver Pepe Marti at the rookie training session in Miami. The Spaniard, who competed in his first Formula E race at the Sao Paulo E-Prix in December, is the only regular driver in the racing series eligible to compete.

The background to this is a rule change whereby a driver is still considered a rookie in his debut season and is allowed to participate in the corresponding tests and sessions. e-formula.news reported exclusively on this change last year.

>>> Theo Pourchaire drives for Citroën Racing

[01/20 | 10:30 am] The next Formula E rookie for the additional training session in Miami has been confirmed: former Formula 2 champion and Stellantis factory driver Theo Pourchaire will be behind the wheel for Citroën in Florida. The Frenchman was already behind the wheel for Maserati MSG Racing during last year's rookie training. In addition, following his Gen4 test in Spain a few days ago, he is considered a hot candidate for a cockpit at Opel, the presumed newcomer to Formula E.

>>> DS Penske once again selects Bedrin for rookie training in Miami

[01/19 | 1:00 pm] The Formula E team DS Penske has announced Nikita Bedrin as a driver for the upcoming rookie training in Miami. The 20-year-old racing driver has already been behind the wheel of a DS car in Berlin during the rookie test in July 2025 and also works as a development driver for the team.
