The Formula E Season 12 finale is finally upon us and marks the end of a number of significant chapters. Most importantly, it is time to crown a new world champion.
This weekend's London E-Prix marks the end of the Gen3 era, with the four-year cycle set to conclude after the double-header at the ExCeL Centre.
It is also Formula E's final visit to the indoor/outdoor circuit, as Brands Hatch will host the UK race from next season following the introduction of Gen4. The series will also bid farewell to Mr Formula E himself, Lucas di Grassi.
While all of that is set to happen, attention will be firmly fixed on the drivers' title fight, with nine drivers entering the weekend mathematically in contention. Realistically, however, the battle is between four: current leader Jake Dennis, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein and Oliver Rowland.
Just five points separate the top three, and Evans is the only driver among the leading quartet without a world title to his name. Dennis enters as the slight favourite, Evans is looking to end his time with Jaguar by winning the championship, Wehrlein is seeking redemption after losing his title defence last year, and Rowland is pursuing back-to-back crowns. London will decide it all.
First practice gets the event under way on Friday at 16:00 BST.
Saturday and Sunday both feature a practice session, qualifying and an E-Prix. Saturday's race includes Pit Boost, while Sunday's features two Attack Modes. The sessions take place at the same times on both days.
Unlike in recent seasons, both races will take place at 15:00 BST to avoid a direct clash with Formula 1.
