Last time out at the first Tokyo E-Prix

Another new team and driver on the top step of the podium, more manufacturer news announced in the global car culture capital and home town heroes give the crowd something to cheer about. Here are the top seven things we learned in Tokyo.

Silverware for Nissan on home soil

Home town heroes Nissan notched up another podium finish at the hands of veteran Formula E driver Oliver Rowland - extending his podium streak to three races in Tokyo.

Heading to the Japanese capital, Rowland was on a roll after a third-place finish in Sao Paulo and started to pick up the pace after Free Practice 2 in Japan. After finishing the final practice session second fastest, Rowland went on to pinch Julius Baer Pole Position from Maserati MSG Racing's Maximilian Guenther in qualifying, around the 18-turn, 2.582km street circuit.

Tokyo's still the epicentre of global car culture

In one of the world's greatest car capitals, all eyes were on Formula E's line-up of leading global car manufacturers, particularly home town heroes Nissan.

From Formula E's very own collaboration with customising kings Liberty Walk, to all-star appearances from Takuma Sato and GEN3 drives by Fast & Furious actor Sung Kang - not to mention our very own, unique take on the iconic Tokyo Drift intro - the inaugural race in Japan had it all.

"I think it's the proper the perfect combination of a postmodern city like Tokyo, teaming up with Formula E, a postmodern motorsport," said Sung Kang. "What better backdrop than Tokyo for Formula E to be at, where everything is about the future."

As for legendary Japanese racing driver Takuma Sato, the seasoned IndyCar and Formula 1 driver was spotted trackside catching all the action in Tokyo. "It is mega for Formula E, Japan and motorsport in this country – the impact will be huge," he said.

"There's no history of street track formula racing in Japan whatsoever and this will bring an enormous future for Japanese motor racing.

"The fans will be really excited to see it for the first time in person. I have a lot of good friends here, even after 10 years [since taking part in the 2014 Beijing E-Prix] – it's been really nice to see them. I'm just so happy to look at a beautiful sunset in Tokyo with Formula E finally coming to Japan – it's such an exciting moment."

Challenging, "proper Formula E track" with bumps, jumps and drifts

With 18-turns, the 2.582km street circuit around the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre – the largest venue in Japan also known as Tokyo Big Sight – proved a formidable challenge for the paddock.

From practice to the E-Prix, the course saw all 22 cars and drivers jump, bump and drift their way around the tight corners, technical sequences and fast straights, all against the stunning backdrop of the bustling Tokyo metropolis.

"It was mega," said Jaguar TCS Racing's Nick Cassidy immediately after the race. "It was a proper Formula E track with bumps, fast sections and corners - you're really on the limit. I thought the track was fantastic - I'm a proper street circuit lover, which is Formula E's DNA."

Nissan commited to Formula E's GEN4 era

On the eve of the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix, home town heroes Nissan became the first manufacturers to commit to the GEN4 era, extending its involvement in the series until 2030.

"The Formula E World Championship plays a key part in our electrification strategy, so to finally be able to race in front of our home crowd is amazing," says Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan.

"We've been dreaming of an E-Prix in Japan for a long time, and have been excited for it to come ever since it was announced by the series!"

The announcement was part of Nissan's Ambition 2030 - a long-term plan to become a truly electrified car manufacturer. The program places electrification at the core of the company's long-term strategy, which will see 34 electrified models hit the road between 2024 and 2030, across all segments.
