Maximilian Gunther set the fastest time in the morning session of the opening day of Formula E pre-season testing at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia.

The BMW i Andretti Motorsport driver, who joins the German marque following one season with GEOX Dragon, set a best time of a 1m 15.926s around the 4.005km-long circuit to top the three-hour session.

Antonio Felix da Costa emerged as the German racer's nearest challenger, with the Portuguese driver fronting a 2-3 result for DS Techeetah, trailing Gunther by 0.106s while reigning Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne trailed by a further 0.130s.

Oliver Rowland edged ahead of Nissan e.dams team-mate Sebastien Buemi in what was a 4-5 result for the Franco-Japanese squad while Season 3 champion Lucas di Grassi ended the morning with the sixth-fastest time for Audi.
