Formula E in Portland: The qualifying groups for Saturday at a glance

As a warm-up for the Germany match at the European Cup this evening, Formula E qualifying will take place in Portland from 18:40 on Saturday afternoon. This is where it will be decided who will start the race from grid position 1, although we assume that no driver will actually want to be on pole in Portland . However, as three world championship points are awarded for it, it could be particularly relevant for the top 4. In our overview, you can find out which rider has to start in which group.

In the time trial, the drivers initially meet in two groups. As usual, Formula E sorts the groups for the race according to the current championship standings. The drivers in the odd-numbered championship positions start in Group A, while the drivers in the odd-numbered positions start in Group B. The aim here is to make it into the top four positions in your group, as this is the only way to reach the duel phase. There, two drivers compete against each other in the quarter-final, semi-final and final and fight for pole position.

The following groups have been formed for the Portland qualifiers on Saturday
