Team Aguri hope to be in a position where they can run their confirmed drivers for the 2015/2016 season at the final two test sessions at Donington Park before the start of the new season in Beijing on October 17th.

Mark Preston, Team Principal of Team Aguri told Formula E Zone that they want to have their confirmed drivers in the car for the final two test sessions, to get them fully up to speed in time for the start of the season.

“The plan for us is to have our confirmed drivers in the car next week, we have a lot of data to go through, as all of our drivers have done a great job. It is a good problem to have, but we have to decide by next week who we want,” said Mark Preston.

That means that the Japanese team have four drivers on the shortlist for the drive this season, which needs to be cut to the final two next week.

The drivers in question are Salvador Duran who completed all but two races with the team last season, and improved dramatically through the course of the year.

GP2 driver Tom Dillmann is also in the hunt for a seat after completing 61 laps in total for Team Aguri and was very consistent throughout his time in the car.

WEC driver Nicolas Lapierre completed the most laps out of all the four drivers on his test day with a stunning 78 laps to his name.

Lapierre may have a small advantage on the other drivers on the shortlist apart from Duran, as he has driven hybrid systems for Toyota in Le Mans, which gave him a head start in how most of the systems worked in Formula E.

Finally, the last driver that has a chance of getting a seat at Team Aguri is GP2 driver Nathanael Berthon.

Berthon was the quickest of all four drivers, but the French driver tested the car on day four, where the team had found improvements with the car to make it faster than it was on day one.

Now that the shootout has been completed, we should expect an announcement regarding the team’s driver line-up over the coming days.
