Mitch Evans ended Formula E pre-season testing on top after setting the fastest time of the week in the closing minutes. 

It was Jaguar who ended testing at the Jarama Circuit in the perfect spot, with Kiro's impressive Dan Ticktum just under two-tenths behind. 

Evans posted a strong 1:27.461, whilst Ticktum managed a 1:27.602. Reigning world champion Pascal Wehrlein completed the top three, courtesy of a 1:27.658. 

A late flurry of fast lap times was not possible due to a red flag, caused by Jean-Eric Vergne pulling off at Turn 3. 

His DS Penske was successfully recovered, although there was not enough time for the final session of the test to be restarted. 

The next time all the drivers will be out on circuit together will be the season-opener in São Paulo, on December 7.
