Yorkshireman Oliver Rowland sealed Julius Baer Pole Position for Nissan on home soil in Japan ahead of the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix Round 5. The last battle of the weekend’s qualifying session was Rowland versus Guenther. The lap started strong as Rowland started two tenths ahead at the end of the first sector, but Guenther caught up quickly and the end result was split by just 0.021s!. A small mistake on the Brazilian’s lap meant he was forced to limp round and finished over two seconds of the time set by Guenther. Before qualifying, a Jaguar had started in the top four at every race in Season 10 but that record came to an end in Tokyo as Evans whacked the wall on his lap at Turn 9. He was beaten to the top spot by Maximilian Guenther, who set a storming lap time of 1m19.391s.
