- Formula E marks a first double-header in Tokyo
- Three Japanese drivers have raced in Formula E: Takuma Sato, Sakon Yamamoto and Kamui Kobayashi
- Sato claimed the fastest lap in Formula E’s first-ever race: Beijing, Season 1 - Japan’s only points-scorer to-date
- Standings leader Oliver Rowland took pole for last year’s race in Tokyo – home soil for Nissan
- Gunther, Rowland and Dennis provided the youngest podium of Season 10 (average 29 years, 21 days)
- Tokyo has a population of 37 million, the largest of any city in the world. It’s roughly the same as Mexico City, Jeddah, Miami, Monaco, Jakarta, Berlin and London combined
- Last season’s race in Tokyo was the most recent race win for Maserati MSG Racing, with Maximilian Guenther
- He led 12 laps on the way to that win, his only laps led in Season 10
- The podium was also one of one of three double British podiums last season. There have been ten double British podiums in Formula E (the most of any nation)
- Guenther's Tokyo win came from second place on the grid; one of only three races won from the front row last season (the fifth row on the grid claimed as many victories last season)
- Jaguar TCS Racing's Nick Cassidy finished in eighth place from 19th on the grid last season, the biggest mover of any driver in the race
- Sam Bird claimed the fastest lap of the race by 1.968 seconds in last year’s race, the largest fastest lap margin in Formula E history
- Last season’s race in Tokyo was the only race that DS PENSKE failed to score in during Season 10. The team have only failed to score five races in the GEN3 era (only TAG Heuer Porsche have fewer pointless races)
- In Season 11, Formula E has already visited Asia once (in Jeddah), which saw British drivers take five of the six podiums across the two races (two for Oliver Rowland and Taylor Barnard each and one for Jake Hughes)
- Race 2 in Tokyo will the 20th Formula E race held in May. Of the previous 18 races in May, Sebastien Buemi has claimed a podium in the most races (seven)
