With that, I bid you farewell! The test drives in Valencia are over and the next Formula E season is finally about to begin. We don't have to wait much longer. The season 12 opener will take place on 6th of December in Sao Paulo.

Results & lap times

 

Powell finished in fourth place. She had a trip into the gravel at the start of the session due to a battery problem, but to set the fourth-best time despite the limited time on the track is a very good performance. Her team-mate Lloyd finished fifth. Chadwick, Calderon, Marti, Noda and Garcia complete the top 10!

Chloe Chambers wins the women's test with aplomb! The Mahindra rider dominates both the morning and afternoon sessions! Her 1:22.767 remains the best time. Close on her heels is Abbi Pulling and eight tenths behind her is Bustamante in third place.

A final clash of times seems to have failed to materialise. With Calderon and Bustamante, there are still only two drivers on the track. Hardly any team wants to take the risk that the cars could be damaged now.

The last 10 minutes of the women's test have begun. Only Pulling and Bustamante are currently riding.

The last 20 minutes are running. There are no further improvements.

Hankook provided a set of tyres for each session this weekend. This meant that each driver had two sets of tyres available today.

Powell drives straight up to fourth place despite the limited time in the car. Although she is still eight tenths down on Chambers, this is still an excellent lap after the forced break.

Alice Powell is back on the track after two hours. This means she can at least collect another 30 minutes of test time after the battery problems and subsequent trip into the gravel.

Mahindra was very impressive in Valencia this year. Whether with their regular drivers De Vries and Mortara or now with Chambers, they were always well ahead. However, there are also rumours in the paddock that some drivers have driven with additional weights of up to 30 kg to disguise their actual performance.

Slowly but surely, this year's Formula E test drives in Valencia are drawing to a close. There are only 40 minutes left on the clock before the next stop for Formula E is the start of the season in Sao Paulo.

Chambers and Pulling are somewhat in their own class. Although both are very close to each other, there is a huge gap of almost eight tenths between them and Bustamante.

With no changes in position, they both drove back into the pit lane. After just over an hour, this is the intermediate result:

Chloe Chambers - 1:22.767
Abbi Pulling - 1:22.831    
Bianca Bustamante - 1:23.537    
Ella Lloyd - 1:23.676    
Tatiana Calderon - 1:23.955    

Pulling and Chambers are currently engaged in a duel on the track. The weak point in Chambers' lap is clearly the second sector, which Pulling easily tops. In the first and third sectors, however, the Brit can't match Chambers.

In addition to Noda, Lloyd is now still on the track. There are still no improvements.

Noda and Brewer are the only ones on the track. Neither of them improves.

Chadwick has only improved by one place and Calderon was even a tenth faster in the same stint. Everyone is back in the pit lane apart from Noda, who is now pulling out.

There are no further postponements at the moment. Jamie Chadwick has just taken to the track. She is only sixth and will attempt an attack on the lead.

Chloe Chambers takes the lead with a 1:22.767! Nevertheless, she leaves three tenths behind in the centre sector, so there is still room for improvement. Otherwise, nothing else happens on the track.

Pulling leaves the competition behind! The Nissan driver tops the timesheets with her 1:22.831!

There was a brief slip in turn 14 and a yellow flag, but this was immediately corrected. It's very quiet on the track at the moment.

Juju Noda pushes her team-mate Chadwick out of the top 5, but nothing else worth mentioning happens. Only two riders are on the track.

Ella Lloyd manages to break into the leading group and is the new runner-up. This is the standings after one hour:

Chloe Chambers - 1:23.161    
Ella Lloyd - 1:23.676    
Abbi Pulling - 1:24.079    
Nerea Marti - 1:24.428    
Jamie Chadwick - 1:24.471    

The reason for Alice Powell's departure into the gravel was a battery problem. As a result, she no longer had the necessary braking power. The car has returned to the paddock.

Only Brewer and Schall are even slower than Powell, who has already been eliminated from the session.

Chloe Chambers improved by another tenth. Her first and second sectors were very strong, but she lost a lot of time in the third.

Chloe Chambers sets an exclamation mark! Her new best time, a 1:23.233, beats Pulling's time by eight and a half tenths!

Abbi Pulling takes the lead! The young Brit, who impressed at the last women's test in Berlin, clocks a 1:24.079!

Marti beats her own time. Her final lap time, a 1:24.428, is three tenths faster than her previous best time.

Chadwick can only drive up to 5th place but Nerea Marti manages to take the lead!The Andretti driver leads the field with her 1:24.727.

Chadwick is the first and so far the only one to go out again.

Alice Powell has now been brought back in the medical car, but she is fine. Her Envision was recovered from the gravel and taken off the track. I don't know whether she just got stuck or the car crashed beforehand. But the green light is back on now!

I don't have any more information about Powell yet. She is still in turn 4, a 90-degree right-hander right at the end of sector 1.

Jilkova from Porsche is the only driver apart from Powell who has not yet returned to the pit lane. She is creeping back at a snail's pace and will also have to drive in straight away.

I think it's Alice Powell! She is in sector 2 and now the session is interrupted with a red flag!

Marta Garcia takes the lead in the Lola Yamaha Abt! The Spaniard clocks a 1:24.765. Meanwhile, yellow is shown at turn 4!

The first times have been set and we are not far off the level we had in the morning. Tatiana Calderon is currently leading ahead of Juju Noda and Chloe Chambers.

The regular Formula E drivers had their last day of testing yesterday. Today is a women's test. The morning session was won by Chloe Chambers for Mahindra.

Welcome back to the live ticker! The session has just started. One last three hours of driving time in Valencia for Formula E.
