E.Dams who looked very competitive over the first two days of testing seemed to struggle to match the pace of Audi Sport ABT on the third and fourth test session.

The French team also ran into a few reliability issues over the two days, as Nicolas Prost had a gearbox issue that brought him to a halt on track.

His teammate Sebastien Buemi had a battery problem that brought his running to an end after he completed 18 laps for the team.

Despite the few technical issues that have arisen from the last two days of testing Vincent Gaillardot Project Leader of Renault Formula E was pleased with the progress, the team has made so far.

“Overall this has been a useful test for us. It’s clear there is still a lot to do, but we’ve ticked many boxes with regards to preparation for Beijing.”

“Yes, we came across a few issues, which prevented us from doing as many laps as we would have liked, but this is normal during testing. We’ll keep going with our development ahead of the final test next week,” said Gaillardot.

Nico Prost believes that the team needs to work on why they are not as quick as other teams in qualifying mode and come up with a solution before the cars make their journeys to Beijing.

“It’s been a difficult session for me in terms of the car’s set-up. Being fourth fastest isn’t too bad, but not good enough! Our qualifying pace is not there yet so we have to work to find a way to correct that.”

“To be honest, our race pace is not too bad, we think we have good pace at the moment, but we can’t convert that pace into qualifying. So we might have great race pace, but if we qualify in the midfield, then that negates that.”

“While our reliability was good there is still some way to go. A big thanks to the team who did a great job and worked extremely hard, to fix the issues” said, Nico Prost

Sébastien Buemi feels that the team has learnt a lot over the two recent tests conducted by the team, but he hopes that they can come up with a solution to their problems.

“We’ve learned a lot over the last couple of days. Clearly there is still some work to be done, but at the moment we are focussing on getting the most out of the car. The team have been brilliant to resolve any issues we’ve had, and we all feel there is still a lot of potentials to unlock. Overall, I’m happy with how it’s gone,” said Buemi.
