Oliver Rowland pipped Maximilian Guenther to pole for the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix, taking the top spot ahead of Nissan’s home event.
The Briton pulled out a margin of more than two tenths in the opening sector during the final qualifying duel before Maserati MSG’s Guenther pulled half of the deficit back in sector two. The margin came down further in the final sector but Rowland held on to claim his second Formula E pole of the season by just 0.021s with a 1m19.023s. A 1m18.
Mitch Evans’s quarter-final duel almost ended in disaster as the Kiwi glanced the wall through the fast right-hander of Turn 9 and which ultimately cost him in his battle against Rowland. Evans initially missed out on progressing to the duels by half a tenth after finishing the opening qualifying group in fifth. The Jaguar driver, who is set to make his 100th race start later today, finished 0.
