Formula E testing: Sebastien Buemi fastest on day two at Valencia

Lap times were around three seconds slower than on Monday, because of the addition of another chicane on the start/finish straight.

The new left-right chicane has been placed just before the finish line, splitting the straight into thirds.

Buemi posted a time of 1m21.890s in the morning and lapped within two tenths of that benchmark in the afternoon.

In both sessions the Renault e.dams driver's advantage was slim - in the morning Felix Rosenqvist and Sam Bird lapped within a tenth, while in the afternoon reigning champion Lucas di Grassi was 0.158s back in the Audi e-tron FE-04.

Di Grassi was one of few drivers to improve in the afternoon - setting a time good enough for sixth overall, behind day-one pacesetter Oliver Turvey and Nico Prost - as more teams switched to long runs, creating a bigger spread of times.

Jerome d'Ambrosio put Dragon Racing into the top 10 in eighth, behind the second Audi of Daniel Abt and the two Jaguars of Mitch Evans and Nelson Piquet Jr.

The main incident of note was when James Rossiter's afternoon ended early.

Rossiter crashed his Venturi at the chicane at the end of a flying lap and caused damage to the front right of the car, leaving him without a representative qualifying simulation from his two days of testing.

Venturi's 2016/17 regular Maro Engel will take over from Rossiter on Thursday, partnering his fellow Mercedes DTM driver Edoardo Mortara.

Mortara was 13th fastest on Tuesday afternoon after giving up his seat in the morning to Moroccan Michael Benyahia, who was the slowest of the day's 21 runners.

BMW DTM driver Tom Blomqvist appeared for the first time at Andretti, taking over from Antonio Felix da Costa and ending up 15th overall.
