Her relationship with Jaguar TCS Racing began in 2020 during the Marrakesh Rookie Test, but she has since become well-acquainted with the team’s machinery through previous testing sessions in Madrid and Berlin.

From an early age, Noda demonstrated exceptional skill behind the wheel, starting karting at three and competing on Japanese circuits by the time she was nine years old. Her competitive journey took her through various series, including the W Series and Euroformula Open, culminating in a historic moment when she became the first Japanese woman to race in Super Formula in 2024.
“I’m really looking forward to joining Jaguar TCS Racing for the Formula E Women’s Test,” Noda stated. “Driving the GEN3 Evo car will be a new experience for me, and I’m excited to learn from the team and push myself in this environment.” Noda’s enthusiasm reflects her ambition and desire to contribute positively to the initiative that supports women in motorsport.
