For the 22 drivers and teams of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the official pre-season testing for the all-electric race series was all about fine-tuning ahead of the first race in January 2024. Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) has particular reason to be happy. The man from New Zealand made the most of the Hankook iON Race’s performance and completed a lap of the 3.376-kilometre track with nine left-hand and six right-hand turns in 1:24.474 minutes, making him the fastest driver at the Spanish dress rehearsal for Formula E Season 10.
