Track action is to resume at 2:00pm local time on Thursday and will run until 6:30pm following a lengthy investigation by the FIA, Formula E and battery supplier WAE.
A statement from the FIA read: “Following the incident that happened on Tuesday and subsequent investigations, the FIA has authorised Formula E pre-season testing to resume today from 2pm CET.
“The investigations and findings provided by the technical suppliers and reviewed by the FIA confirm that it is acceptable for on-track activity to go ahead.
“Pre-season testing will now continue through Friday. An updated on-track session schedule will be distributed soon.”
Three planned days of testing were impacted at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain after a battery explosion and subsequent fire took place in the pitbox of battery supplier WAE on Tuesday.
This occurred after the DS Penske of Robert Shwartzman came to a halt on circuit during that morning’s three-hour session before the car was transported back to the WAE garage.
Shortly before 1pm, a battery from the car exploded causing a fire in the garage with emergency crews immediately on the scene and the paddock evacuated as the afternoon session was subsequently cancelled.
At the time, Formula E reported that "one person has been assessed by medics and has been transported to hospital for precautionary checks" but that the individual was “released without treatment” later that evening.
