Jake Dennis dominates Valencia Race 2 qualifying

You had to be in the fourth qualifying group to be able to hope to aim for pole position for the second race of the Valencia ePrix this Sunday in Spain.

At the end of the first phase of the session, it was in fact the drivers in this group who were able to benefit from a drying track to enter the Super Pole.

They faced each other like this Norman Nato (Venturi), Oliver Turvey and Tom Blomqvist (NIO), Alex Lynn (Mahindra), André Lotterer (Porsche) and Jake Dennis (BMW i Andretti), best time of the first part of qualifying.

In the end it is the latter, the last driver to take to the track in the decisive session, who will largely take pole position by completing a benchmark time of 1'28″548, more than eight tenths ahead of André Lotterer and 1″1 ahead of Lynn. Lotterer will, however, have to observe a penalty of three places on the starting grid after his collision with Edoardo Mortara (Venturi) yesterday in race 1.

Blomqvist, Turvey and Nato finished 1″6, 1″8 and 1″9 from pole. Jean-Eric Vergne (DS Techeetah) will start in 7th position ahead of the two Nissan e.dams of Oliver Rowland and Sébastien Buemi.

António Félix da Costa (DS Techeetah) will start in 12th position when yesterday's winner, Nyck de Vries (Mercedes), could not do better than 18th place just behind his teammate Stoffel Vandoorne.

Race 2 of the Valencia ePrix will start at 14 p.m. French time.
