Jamie Chadwick’s Return and Juju Noda’s Ambition
British driver Jamie Chadwick, known for her extensive racing career, will once again represent Jaguar TCS Racing in the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s Women’s Test. Her return to Jaguar is significant as she has been with the team since 2020 and previously drove the I-TYPE 7 during the inaugural Women’s Test, Rookie Free Practice session, and Rookie Test in Berlin earlier this year.
Chadwick’s career highlights include a dominating performance in the W Series where she became an undefeated triple champion. She also made history as the first woman to win an Indy NXT race and finished seventh overall in the championship. Her most recent accomplishment was making her Le Mans debut, securing multiple wins with IDEC Sport in the LMP2 class.
Introducing Juju Noda
Joining Chadwick is Japanese driver Juju Noda, who has an impressive racing background. Born in Tokyo in 2006, she began karting at three years old and by the age of nine, was already testing single-seater race cars on Japanese circuits.
Noda’s competitive debut came in the 2019 Lucas Oil Winter Race Series followed by a standout performance in the F4 Danish Championship. In 2024, she made history as the first Japanese woman to race in Super Formula, Japan’s premier single-seater championship, where she joined TGM Grand Prix.
