The lottery draw has been made for the Putrajaya ePrix, following the Driver’s Briefing, meaning that all four groups for qualifying have now been decided ahead of this weekend’s action.
The qualifying session is an all out scramble for the fastest lap time and determines the order for the race. The session is 55 minutes long, 40 of those minutes spent on track, and sees drivers divided into four groups of five cars.
Each group has 10 minutes to set their best time and have the boost of having full power, 270bhp, available throughout with drivers only able to use one car.
In an added twist, the variable weather conditions could make group placement crucial ahead of tomorrow’s race. This is all the more pertinent considering Formula E is a one make championship.
