Despite crowning Jean-Eric Vergne as our new ABB FIA Formula E champion just over a month ago, we're already counting down the days, hours and minutes until Season 5 kicks off in Saudi Arabia on December 15.

But there's good news ahead as on October 16, 2018 we're opening the doors to pre-season testing, giving you the chance to see all 22 cars and drivers take to the track ahead of the opening round of Season 5.

So what exactly is pre-season testing?

Pre-season testing is the first time all 11 Formula E teams and 22 cars and drivers will take to the track together, ahead of the first round of Season 5 of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. The track time is used by teams and drivers to make any final amendments to the cars ahead of the first race in Ad Diryiah, Saudi Arabia on December 15, 2018.
