# Formula E pre-season testing schedule confirmed

Formula E has confirmed the official dates and times to when pre-season testing for season three will take place.

Pre-season testing will take place at Donington Park in Leicestershire on August 23. The first week of testing will take place over three days, with the latter two days (August 24 and 25) will be open to the public.

This will be the first time fans will be able to see the new Jaguar and Techeetah teams in action.

The first round in Hong Kong takes place on October 9 meaning testing will be crucial for all of the drivers to get acclimatised with their new machinery.

The second week of testing is scheduled to take place on September 5-7.
