<\/p>\nF1 Academy’s Chloe Chambers set a stunning 1m 22.767 in the afternoon session of Formula E’s historic second women’s test \u2013 held at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chambers topped both the morning and afternoon session of the women’s test, which saw 14 drivers gain crucial experience behind the wheel of the Gen3 Evo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite very little experience in the series, Chambers’ lap time was just four-tenths slower than Joel Eriksson’s fastest lap across the entire Formula E pre-season test.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To add to the significance of Chambers’ performance, the American driver’s fastest lap was quicker than what Cupra Kiro rookie Pepe Marti achieved in the second session of the actual Formula E pre-season test.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abbi Pulling went second quickest in the afternoon and overall on the day for Nissan, falling just 0.064s adrift of Chambers’ lap time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The top three was completed by Bianca Bustamante, while Jamie Chadwick was sixth on what was mostly a smooth day of running.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tMorning session<\/p>\n
The morning session saw lap times tumble in rapid fashion, with Chambers having gone quickest on a 1m 23.584.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chambers looked quick immediately for Mahindra, topping the morning by nearly three-tenths ahead of Pulling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Remarkably, the top seven, despite varying levels of experience in the Gen3 Evo, were split by under one-second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was an incredibly clean session, with only a couple of brief yellow flags for Tatiana Calderon finding the gravel.<\/p>\n
