Nicki Shields has picked her top drivers to look out for in the Formula E Marrakesh E-Prix
Many first-time viewers will be tuning in to watch Formula E this afternoon live on BBC Two, and we're here to help you track the drivers to watch.
Former Formula 1 superstar Felipe Massa is among the top names on the grid while the familiar names of Brendon Hartley, Stoffel Vandoorne and Pascal Wehrlein are all in the fold.
Formula E presenter Nicki Shields spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com to pick out the names you need to know ahead of the Marrakesh E-Prix.
She said: "At the moment there are four drivers at the top of the championship there’s only nine points that separate them, and that includes British driver Alexander Sims – so watch out for him.
"He’s had a really great start to the season, he’s just one point off championship leader Mitch Evans.
"Evans is a Kiwi!" joked Shields "but he is racing for Jaguar – the British racing team – so we’re kind of behind him as well.
"It will be interesting to see how Sam Bird does, he had a podium taken away from him in Mexico City but he is looking strong.
"His car has got the pace, he’s looking very confident so he’s one to watch."
