Formula E has announced through their official website, proposed changes to the qualifying format.
The concept is currently subject to ratification by the FIA World Motorsport Council.
“Pushing the car to the limit and brushing against the walls around a street circuit in qualifying is a real spectacle and one of the highlights of a Formula E event,” said Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag.
“With this new qualifying format it will ensure the battle for pole position will go down to the wire – as the name suggests it’s ‘super’!”
How will it work?
- Like in season one, the drivers will be placed into four groups of five.
- The sessions will be shortened to just six minutes.
- Drivers will only have time for an out-lap, warm-up lap and one flying lap at 200kW.
- The overall five fastest drivers, from each group, will go out one by one in the Super Pole shoot-out.
- The fifth fastest driver from the group stages goes out first, followed by the fourth, third, second and first.
- The top five grid slots will be decided by the super pole shootout while 6-20 spots will be decided by the fastest times set during the qualifying groups.
