Oliver Rowland won in London last season and may be looking to put the icing on the cake after the championship win by securing his home race victory.

On the other hand, this is the home race for two-time London E-Prix winner Jake Dennis, who is looking to end the year with at least one win. But there are more who could lay their claim to the winner’s trophy in London.

The TAG Heuer Porsche driver did not win the other race but secured second place on the podium.
