Reigning Constructors’ champions Porsche will head into the all-female Formula E test with two drivers, as BMW GT4 racer Janine Schall will partner Gabriela Jílková for the one-day test on October 31.

The German driver will team up with the German team for the women-exclusive test in Valencia on October 31.

Schall, who currently competes in the Nürburgring Langstecken-Serie, is no stranger to motorsport — her family races under the name ‘Schall Racing’. She is also the daughter of former touring car racer Ralf Schall.

She currently competes in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS), and has driven a Porsche Cayman V5 in 2023 and 2024, claiming multiple wins. For the first round of 2025, she raced for Girls Only by WS Racing team, where she took a race win at NLS 6.

In karting, Schall has many accolades, including several runner-up finishes. Additionally, she was a member of Team Germany at the 2024 FIA Motorsport Games, where she finished tenth in the “Kart-Endurance” category.

“Please welcome Janina Schall to complete our line-up for the FIA Formula E Women’s Test in Valencia on 31 October! Janina’s from our home region, Swabia. She’s studying automotive engineering and currently races GT4 BMWs on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife,” tweeted Porsche, in a post about the announcement on Friday, 24 October 2025.

Every team was required to sign at least one female racer for the all-female Formula E test on October 31, while some teams, such as Porsche, Jaguar, DS Penske and Envision Racing, have brought on board two racers for the test.

This brings the total tally of racers taking part in the test to 14, down from the 19 that attempted the debut all-female test last November.
