Sebastien Buemi (e.dams-Renault) set the fastest time on the final day of pre-season testing at Donington Park ahead of the opening round of the all-electric FIA Formula E Championship in Beijing on September 13.
The Swiss driver set a lap of 1m31.792 to top the timesheets over three-tenths clear of his teammate Nicolas Prost, during a day where the ten teams focused their attention on race simulations.
Buemi, who has now topped four of the five pre-season tests, was the early pacesetter clocking a 1m32.519, edging out Virgin Racing's Sam Bird and Dragon Racing's Jerome d'Ambrosio in the morning session.
Meanwhile, Bruno Senna ended the day fourth fastest for Mahindra Racing ahead of Bird, who just pipped Audi Sport Abt's Lucas di Grassi into sixth place.
Karun Chandhok finished seventh for Mahindra Raching ahead of d'Ambrosio and Venturi's Stephane Sarrazin. Nick Heidfeld rounded out the top 10 in the second Venturi car, with all 10 covered by less than a second.
