Marta García to get first taste of Formula E with ERT at Berlin Rookie Test

2023 F1 ACADEMY Champion Marta García will embark on a new stage of her racing journey as she joins the ERT Formula E Team for the World Championship’s 2024 Rookie Test in Berlin next month.

Getting behind the wheel of the GEN3 machinery for the first time, the one-day Rookie Test at the Tempelhof Airport circuit provides the Spaniard with a valuable chance to broaden her motorsport experience as she familiarises herself with the all-electric car.

García’s Formula E debut on May 13 comes straight off the back of the opening weekend of her Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine campaign, racing with Iron Dames at the Hockenheimring.

"I am thrilled to join ERT Formula E Team for the Berlin Rookie Test,” García said. “Formula E represents the future of motorsport, and I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to experience it firsthand. I've been following the championship closely, and I'm eager to get behind the wheel of the ERT X24 car and contribute to the team's development. This test is a stepping stone in my career, and I'm determined to make the most of it."

Alex Hui, Team Principal of ERT Formula E Team, added: “We are incredibly excited to welcome Marta García to the ERT Formula E family for the Berlin Rookie Test. Marta's exceptional talent and achievements in F1 ACADEMY are undeniable.

“This test serves as a fantastic platform to showcase her skills within the dynamic environment of Formula E. We are confident that Marta will quickly adapt to the unique demands of electric racing and provide valuable insights for the team."
