- Juju Noda and Bryce Aron took part in the inaugural Madrid Rookie Test for Jaguar TCS Racing, held the day after the team’s dominant 1‑2 finish at the Circuito de Jarama.
- Aron completed his first ever outing with the team, while Noda returned for her second experience following the Women’s Test in Valencia back in November.
- Both drivers impressed Jaguar TCS Racing with their professionalism, preparation, and rapid adaptation to the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7.
- Jaguar TCS Racing will next hit the track for the Berlin E‑Prix double‑header and Rounds 7 & 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on 2‑3 May 2026.
For Bryce, it marked his first ever outing with Jaguar TCS Racing, while Juju returned for her second experience with the team following last year’s Women’s Test in Valencia. Both drivers impressed with their professionalism, preparation, and ability to adapt quickly to the highly technical nature of Formula E running.
The morning session in Madrid provided valuable running for both drivers, despite a stop‑start rhythm caused by two red flags and heavy traffic throughout the 3‑hour session. With the quickest lap of the session set at 1:29.216, Bryce Aron finished P15, +3.679s from the benchmark, while Juju Noda closed the session in P18, +3.978s off the fastest time. The disrupted running made it difficult for many rookies to piece together representative 350kW laps, but both drivers focused on building confidence in the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 and gathering meaningful data for the team.
The afternoon session provided another valuable run for Jaguar TCS Racing’s rookie duo, with both drivers continuing to build confidence and refine their understanding of the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7. Amid another period of traffic‑affected running, Bryce Aron closed the session P16 overall with a 1:32.108, while Juju Noda finished P19 on a 1:33.199.

It was great to be back with Jaguar TCS Racing and to feel the progress from my first test. There is a lot of information to take in and this track is challenging, but I learned a huge amount and really enjoyed working with the team again.

JAGUAR TCS RACING DRIVER
This has been an incredible experience and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to work with the Jaguar TCS Racing team. There was a lot to take in, but the team helped me get up to speed quickly and I’m proud of the progress we made throughout the day.

Juju and Bryce approached the day with real maturity and professionalism. For two drivers with limited experience in Formula E machinery, they adapted quickly, absorbed huge amounts of information, and delivered exactly what the team needed. Their feedback was sharp, their attitude was spot‑on, and they both showed the kind of potential we look for in emerging talent.
