Formula E is back at Battersea Park in London for the final two rounds of the 2015/16, with both titles still left to decide.
Like in the inaugural season of the FIA Formula E Championship, Battersea Park will see a double-header over the course of July 2-3. This season has had a lot of twists, turns and surprises, with the two main contenders of the Drivers’ Championship within a point of each other.
It is also close between the Renault e.dams and Abt Schaeffler teams, with only 11 points separate them. With 96 points the maximum haul achievable for a team this weekend, we can expect to see changes occurring up and down the standings.
The Renault e.dams team has had the fastest car over the majority of the season, and although Sebastien Buemi has taken some of his chances he has also made mistakes. Lucas di Grassi has won two ePrix in a row, three if you count Mexico City where he was disqualified after the race, and has not finished outside of the top three all season.
This could also be potentially the last race in Formula E for some drivers, while Team Aguri will bow out after completing a deal with an unnamed investor for their license to compete next year.
Circuit Location: Battersea Park, London
Circuit Length: 2.93km (1.82 miles)
Turns: 17
Previous Winners: Sebastien Buemi, Sam Bird
With 17 turns and a tight track, there aren’t a lot of places to be able to properly pass, although it didn’t stop the drivers last year. Drivers’ Championship contender Di Grassi has described the circuit as “technically very difficult to drive.
The weather in England is always prone to rain, and last year it affected Sunday’s qualifying session. This year it looks like the capital city will see good weather, although it is a factor that will be in the minds of many people during the weekend.
