That's a wrap: pre-season testing

That's a wrap: pre-season testing

Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain was ringing with the new sound of the FIA Formula E Championship, as teams made final adjustments during pre-season testing. Now silent, there's no more time for testing, no more laps or last-minute adjustments - just a matter of weeks until the green light on the start line of the Hong Kong E-Prix on December 2 2017.

As the countdown begins, so does the speculation as to who'll rise to the podium on Hong Kong's Harbourfront and - ultimately - who'll be crowned champion for Season Four. But first, a look back at the highs, lows and blows of pre-season testing.

Sitting top of the timesheets for two days out of three was NIO Formula E Team driver Oliver Turvey. Making his debut in Formula E at the Season One, Turvey has been a permanent member of NIO Formula E Team ever since. After setting the pace with the fastest lap time of 1m21.822, can he keep it up throughout Season Four?

Aside from Turvey's impressive performance, NIO Formula E team took the opportunity to launch its new livery ahead of testing, alongside the announcement that Italian racer Luca Filippi will be joining the team's driver line up for Season Four.

The news was followed by Andretti Formula E team’s decision to retain Felix da Costa for season four. "We are fairly pleased with the way things have gone and we got through all the items on our test list. We learned an awful lot this week but we still have a lot of work to do before Round 1 in Hong Kong," added Co-Team Principal Roger Griffiths.

For Venturi Formula E, the team's cars suffered technical issues during testing, which impacted drivers Edoardo Mortara, James Rossiter, Maro Engel and Michael Benyahia's time in the car and total mileage over the three days. Will these issues continue to plague the team's performance in Hong Kong?

Over at Renault e.dams, driver and Season Two champion Sebastien Buemi managed to top the timesheets on day two with a time of 1m21.890 - just six-thousandths of a second behind Turvey's top time a day later.

With all still to play for in Season Four, the teams will be reunited on the Hong Kong Harbourfront on December 2 2017 for the Hong Kong E-Prix.
