DS Penske's Maximilian Günther topped the timesheets on Wednesday afternoon, as Formula E pre-season testing reached its halfway point. 

The German driver set a 1:28.408 – the quickest time of the test so far – to be the driver to beat in the session; however, it was Kiro Race Co who caught the eye. 

The recently acquired and rebranded outfit finished the day second and fourth on the timesheets, with Dan Ticktum being the closest driver to Günther's time. 

Ticktum was just 0.031s down on the DS Penske driver's impressive lap, whilst the auditioning David Beckmann was just over one-tenth down in fourth. 

In a Kiro sandwich was Günther's team-mate, Jean-Eric Vergne, cementing a strong afternoon for DS Penske

One red flag was flown during the session for track repairs. Testing resumes on Thursday morning, before a mock-race featuring attack charge takes place in the afternoon.
