Jamie Chadwick and Juju Noda will represent Jaguar TCS Racing in the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E official women’s test, building on the success of last year’s pioneering FIA Championship event.
British driver Chadwick is well-acquainted with the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7, having driven the car during the inaugural women’s test in Madrid; in Jeddah’s Free Practice session; and the Rookie Test in Berlin earlier this year – all during the 2024/25 season. Her relationship with Jaguar TCS Racing, however, dates back to 2020 when she first represented the team at the Marrakesh Rookie Test.
With a 14-year career spanning single-seaters, sportscars, and international championships, Chadwick has built an impressive racing resume. She made her single-seater debut in 2017 in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship before dominating the W Series, becoming an undefeated triple champion with 11 career victories. In 2022, she joined Andretti Autosport as a test driver in Indy NXT and was signed for the 2023 and 2024 seasons – making history as the first woman in 14 years to win an Indy NXT race and finishing seventh overall in the championship. Chadwick has continued to impress in sportscar racing this year, making her Le Mans debut in June and securing multiple wins in the European Le Mans Series with IDEC Sport in the LMP2 class.
Joining Jamie at Jaguar TCS Racing is Super Formula driver Juju Noda. Born in Tokyo in 2006, she began karting at the age of three and was already testing single-seater race cars on Japanese circuits by the time she was nine years old. Her competitive debut came in the 2019 Lucas Oil Winter Race Series, followed by a standout performance in the F4 Danish Championship in 2020, where she won her first race and finished sixth overall. Juju continued to build her career across various series, including the W Series and Euroformula Open. In 2024, Juju made history by becoming the first Japanese woman to race in Super Formula, Japan’s premier single-seater championship, joining TGM Grand Prix.
Jamie Chadwick, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, said: “It’s fantastic to be returning to Jaguar TCS Racing for the women’s test in Valencia. Having already driven the I-TYPE 7 last season, I’m excited to build on that experience and continue working with the team. Driving in Formula E presents a unique challenge, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of it.”
Juju Noda, Jaguar TCS Racing driver, said: “I’m really looking forward to joining Jaguar TCS Racing for the Formula E women’s test. Driving the GEN3 Evo car will be a new experience for me, and I’m excited to learn from the team and push myself in this environment. It’s an honour to contribute to an initiative that supports women in motorsport and helps open doors for talented drivers.”
Ian James, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jamie and Juju to the team for the women’s test. This initiative continues to play a vital role in creating meaningful opportunities for female talent in motorsport, and both drivers bring exceptional skill, experience, and ambition to the team.”
The women’s test will take place in Valencia, Spain, on Friday 31 October.
