Two seasons ago, Jílková tested the Formula E car in Valencia, as well as participating in the initial women’s test, alongside 2023 F1 Academy Champion Marta García. 

Alongside her role as a development driver for Porsche in 2025, Jílková is competing in the GT4 European Series with TGR Team Matmut Évolution and the Indian Racing League with Hyderabad Blackbirds. She finished fifth in the PRO-AM standings and has taken several podiums in the GT4 European Series, with a best finish of second at Misano and the Nürburgring.

Jílková spoke on her latest news In a video shared to social media, saying she “Feels super happy” about this announcement, before going on to say that she feels as though she is “well prepared for the test.”

Jílková becomes the sixth driver to be announced for the all-woman test, alongside the likes of Bianca Bustamante (Cupra Kiro), Marta García (Lola Yamaha ABT), Abbi Pulling (Nissan) and Lindsay Brewer and Jess Edgar (DS Penske). 

The all-female test will be happening across two sessions on Friday, 31 October, following Formula E’s four days of pre-season testing, ahead of the highly anticipated Season 12. 

Formula E’s all-women test is one of the most important measures taken by the series to foster inclusivity and diversity in the championship. The all-electric racing series took a major step towards a more inclusive environment for all when it removed paternity and maternity leaves from the cost caps allocated to various Formula E teams.
