Formula E moves pre-season testing amid flooding

Formula E has opted to move its planned pre-season testing from Valencia in the wake of the flash flooding in the region that has left hundred dead and many still missing.

The series has announced that instead it will move it testing to Jarama keeping the testing sessions in Spain but still leading to a rush to get all the required infrastructure moved in time for Tuesdays scheduled start.

Formula E sent their condolences on the situation and stated that while it may have been possible logistically to continue in Valencia the circumstances meant it would not be appropriate to use the resources of an already struggling city.
