The sim racers lining up for Round 1 of the Race at Home Challenge

The sim racers lining up for Round 1 of the Race at Home Challenge

With the once-in-a-lifetime drive of a real-life Formula E car up for grabs, the Challenge grid for the first round of the ABB Formula E Race at Home Challenge is here.

The sim racers had all of last week to set their fastest times to enter the ABB Formula E Race at Home Challenge, and topping the timesheets was Peyo Peev with a blistering 57.9-second lap around the Hong Kong circuit. Impressively, the top 18 qualifiers were all covered by just over half a second, so expect a closely fought battle in today's Challenge race.

Kevin Siggy returns to the grid after racing in the test round last Saturday and was the third quickest driver from last week's open qualifiers. He'll be joined by some familiar names including Petar Brljak, Marc Gassner and Olli Pahkala, who were battling for the podium positions in last week's test event.

Charlie Martin and Axel LaFlamme lead the guest drivers invited to take part in the Challenge grid and are joined by gaming YouTuber Mike Channell, racing influencer Archie Hamilton and official Formula E test drivers James Rossiter (DS Techeetah) and Joel Erikkson (Geox Dragon).
