Due to the bad weather affecting Spain, the Valencia tests scheduled from November 4 to 7 are at risk.
The new adventure of the GEN 3 Evo in Formula E could start with several issues: due to the bad weather affecting Spain, particularly the city of Valencia, there may be repercussions for motorsport as well.
This obviously takes a back seat as the images coming from the Valencia Community region are devastating, with the current toll tragically standing at 51 dead and numerous missing.
Per questo motivo, i test di Valencia di Formula E, in programma la prossima settimana, dal 4 al 7 novembre, includendo anche la giornata dedicata al test solo al femminile, sono a serio rischio, così come anche il Gran Premio di MotoGP, previsto il 17 novembre. Infatti, dalle immagini riportate da Motorsports_Spain su Instagram, si vedono le tragiche condizioni in cui versano le strade all’esterno dell’autodromo, sebbene la pista all’interno sembra non aver riportato danni eccessivi.
The Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, in addition to pre-season tests, was also the venue for official Formula E races until 2021.
Valencia tests at risk, here’s the announcement from Formula E.
Formula E has provided an update in recent hours, and we are sharing the statement here: “In light of the situation that has developed overnight in Valencia, we are working closely with the local authorities and representatives of the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia ahead of the scheduled FIA Formula E official test next week.”
“Our thoughts go out to those affected by the extreme weather conditions in Spain. Due to damage to the main access road caused by a nearby riverbank flood, the circuit is currently inaccessible by vehicle.”
“Four members of Formula E staff stayed at the circuit last night as a precaution, but are safe and able to transfer to and from the circuit by foot. Track conditions show no signs of damage, and we continue to assess garages and freight. Alternative access routes in and out of the circuit are currently being investigated.“
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates in due course. We are on standby to support our colleagues in Valencia as much as we can in this difficult situation.
