The Putrajaya timetable has been moved forward by two hours for the second year in sucession. The reason for the move is to avoid a potential heavey downpour later in the evening.

The race will take place at 2 pm local time, which is 6 am(GMT). There will only be one practice session that will start at 7:45 in the morning local time, 11:45 pm GMT.

The practice session will last for an hour and 15 minutes, which is the combined practice time of the two normal sessions. Qualifying will start at 10:00 am local time, 2 am GMT.

The Malaysian ePrix schedule was also brought forward last year for the same reason.

It is believed that Formula E has agreed to a deal with the Putrajaya race promoter to keep the new format for the following seasons.

Therefore, Malaysia will be the only race that won’t use Formula E’s traditional schedule.
