Andretti Global announced that Reserve and Development Driver Jak Crawford will represent Andretti Formula E in the Jeddah E-Prix Free Practice 0 Session.
The 40-minute, rookie-exclusive session will mark Crawford’s second time driving a Formula E car, and his first outing in the latest Gen3 Evo machinery.
A rising star in single-seater racing, Crawford made his Formula E debut at the 2024 Berlin Rookie Test with Andretti Formula E, where he impressed with the second fastest time of the day. Taking on the role as Andretti Formula E’s Season 11 Reserve and Development Driver, the 19-year-old American will play a key role in the team’s simulator work and setup development at its Banbury headquarters. Crawford’s participation in the recently added Jeddah E-Prix Free Practice 0 Session will provide crucial real-world track time that can be applied to driver-in-the-loop simulation efforts.
Following previous rookie sessions in Rome (2023) and Misano (2024), this marks the first time such a session will take place outside of Italy. Teams have the flexibility to choose which of their cars will be used, with e-motors, batteries and gearboxes coming from the selected car’s season allocation. Additionally, Hankook will provide an extra set of tires for the nominated rookie car.
