Jamie Chadwick has another exciting opportunity just weeks on from her maiden IndyCar test with Andretti.

The Brit is yet to decide where she will race in 2025, with a variety of different categories possible for her to compete in.

IndyCar has long since been her goal, from the moment she decided to pursue a racing career in North America.

It was a bold move, but now she will return to Europe, to test with Jaguar in Formula E’s all-female test in November.

Jamie Chadwick excited to use ‘mind-blowing’ technology

Chadwick does have prior Formula E experience heading into the November test in Valencia, having conducted running with NIO in season five.

She will also take part in the rookie test with the British outfit in Berlin next year, providing her with another opportunity to prove her credentials.

Speaking about the chance, she discussed how special the technology that she will be working with is.

“I’m very excited to be back working with Jaguar TCS Racing – a team that have seen so much success recently – and to be back in the world of electric racing,” said Chadwick.

“Formula E is such an exciting, future-facing championship and I’m really looking forward to testing out the Jaguar I-TYPE 7.

“It will be a great opportunity to grow my relationship with the team, meet many other talented drivers and get to experience the mind-blowing technology in these cars.”

What’s Chadwick’s most likely 2025 option?

There are a few spots left on Chadwick’s ‘dream’ IndyCar grid for 2025, but she needs to put in a bit more work before she is ready for such an opportunity.

She admitted after a test at Barber Motorsports Park that she needs to prepare herself better for the physical demands of the series.

Such comments make a return to Indy NXT more likely – a category where she became the first woman to win in its history at Road America in 2024.

Time is running out though, and more seats are being filled by the day by her rivals – so a decision probably needs to come soon.

The worst thing for her development would be to miss out on a year of racing because she was too slow in making a decision.
