2019-20 Formula E Championship Dates: 22 November 2019 - 26 July 2020 Coverage: All 13 races will be available live and free-to-air on BBC online platforms, with the Marrakesh E-Prix on 29 February and the Rome E-Prix on 4 April live on network channels. Marrakesh E-Prix: Saturday, 29 February: Race qualifying 09:45-11:15 GMT, race coverage 13:30-15:15.

The fifth round of the 2019-20 Formula E season takes place in Marrakesh, Morocco on Saturday and you can watch live coverage across the BBC.

The race is live on BBC Two at 13:30 GMT and there is also live text commentary and online streaming on the BBC Sport website, as well as on the Red Button and iPlayer from 13:00.

Motorsport's cleanest racing series has had two races in Saudi Arabia and one apiece in both Chile and Mexico during the 2019-20 season with Jaguar Racing's Mitch Evans leading the championship.

The New Zealander won the Mexico City E-Prix earlier this month and holds a one-point lead over British driver Alexander Sims, who races for the BMW i Andretti Motorsport team.

Reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne came fourth in Mexico, his best result of the season so far, but is 12th in the standings after failing to finish in two of the opening three races.

The current season features 13 races in 11 cities on four continents spread over nine months, with all the races available live and free-to-air on BBC online platforms.

This will be the fourth time an E-Prix has been held in Marrakesh and it has been a good location for the Mahindra Racing team as they have won in both the past two years - with Sweden's Felix Rosenqvist in 2018 and Belgium's Jerome D'Ambrosio last year.

Great Britain's Sam Bird, sixth in the driver standings, has finished on the podium in each of the three previous races in Morocco, coming second in 2016 and third in 2018 and 2019.

What's different about Formula E?

Formula E was launched back in 2014 with sustainability in mind, and organisers saying the aim was to "reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible".

To achieve this, cars are powered by a battery that is made with 100% renewable fuel, and tyres that, as well as lasting an entire race, can also be recycled afterwards. Spectators are encouraged to use public transport to get to events, with no public car parking available.

One drawback in the past was the sight of drivers having to swap cars mid-race because the battery could not last the distance, but the Gen 2 cars - introduced last year - are fitted with a battery that lasts the entirety of a race.

With the car manufacturing world looking to switch to developing almost exclusively electric cars within the next couple of decades, Formula E provides them with the ideal arena to test new technology at a competitive level.

Fan Boost and Attack Mode

Another unique feature of Formula E is the audience interaction with spectators playing a key role in the action during races.

'Fan Boost' has been a feature of the past few seasons, with viewers able to vote using an app to determine which driver gets some extra power during a race.

A more recent feature is 'Attack Mode', which gives competitors a speed boost after they drive through an allocated area on the track. Designed to introduce extra unpredictability into the racing, the use of this mode by a driver can have an effect on deciding the race.

The resulting action has been unpredictable, especially last season, which saw several different winners from the field, many controversial on-track incidents and one race only decided a metre before the line.
