As the session concluded, Mahindra\u2019s Nyck de Vries secured the fastest lap of the day. Here\u2019s a detailed recap of the penultimate day\u2019s highlights.<\/h3>\n<h4>Formula E Testing Day 3: Morning Session: Beckmann Sets the Pace<\/h4>\n<p>David Beckmann dominated Thursday morning at the Jarama circuit, finishing on top with a 1:27.755 lap. Competing with Kiro Race Co only for pre-season, Beckmann and teammate Dan Ticktum have shown remarkable speed <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2024\/11\/06\/formula-e-testing-day-2-hughes-and-gunther-top\/\" target=\"_self\">throughout all four test sessions<\/a>. Beckmann narrowly bested reigning champion <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2024\/09\/17\/pascal-wehrleins-journey-from-f1-to-formula-e-world-champion\/\" target=\"_self\">Pascal Wehrlein<\/a> from TAG Heuer Porsche by just 0.008 seconds. Joining him in the top three was Antonio Felix da Costa, also from Porsche, setting a competitive tone.<\/p>\n<p>Maximilian Guenther of DS PENSKE continued his strong pace, placing fourth, followed by Maserati MSG Racing\u2019s Jake Hughes. Hughes, who led Wednesday\u2019s morning session, demonstrated his consistent pace alongside Guenther. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2024\/09\/24\/how-mitch-evans-became-jaguar-flag-bearer-in-fe\/\" target=\"_self\">Mitch Evans<\/a> from Jaguar TCS Racing slotted into sixth. Jaguar and Nissan, penalized for budget cap breaches, began testing only yesterday, yet displayed respectable speeds. NEOM McLaren\u2019s Taylor Barnard, Nissan\u2019s Oliver Rowland, and DS PENSKE\u2019s Jean-Eric Vergne completed the top ten.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"VzlyBdhCRzNsjsh3F-O4hg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2183519712\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'VzlyBdhCRzNsjsh3F-O4hg',sig:'DQmBW5xWRvqDoC2e_rg6-Bfzp9dezS46eqXjm7nG_uQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2183519712',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Mock-Race and Attack Charge Trials: Porsche 1-2 finish<\/h4>\n<p>The afternoon session started with a 24-lap mock race to simulate race conditions, featuring the highly anticipated Attack Charge. The race faced a 10-minute delay when rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2024\/09\/26\/formula-e-who-is-zane-maloney-the-new-lola-driver\/\" target=\"_self\">Zane Maloney<\/a>&#8216;s Lola Yamaha ABT encountered an issue on the grid, forcing him to sit out the afternoon. Once underway, Porsche clinched a strong one-two, with Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa finishing first and second. Nick Cassidy followed in third, underscoring Porsche\u2019s potential for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/motorsports\/2024\/09\/25\/formula-e-xplained-why-dont-they-change-tires\/\" target=\"_self\">Attack Charge<\/a> &#8211; an innovative rapid charging feature &#8211; was tested during the race, delivering a 600 kW boost to the batteries over a 35-second pit stop. Out of those, 30 seconds are spent actively charging while the initial 5 seconds are for safety checks. The system worked without any issues during the mock-race, a promising sign as teams explore its strategic benefits.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"MNB2xNW2SfRzPcStz5p7qg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2183502265\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'MNB2xNW2SfRzPcStz5p7qg',sig:'uFuhoJP95nlx8lx7qDG65EpRw1JepbYSjKUWUMJ6neg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2183502265',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The additional power from the Attack Charge can enhance race strategies but also risks battery overheating. Drivers need to carefully manage their pace post-charge to avoid draining the added energy too quickly. Cooling is crucial, with a specialized coolant circulating through the charger\u2019s cells; however, without an external radiator, excess heat only dissipates once the charger is inactive.<\/p>\n<h4>Formula E Testing Day 3: Afternoon Wrap-Up: Mahindra Tops the Timesheets<\/h4>\n<p>Following the mock-race, testing resumed, with Nyck de Vries in his Mahindra clocking the fastest time of the afternoon session at 1:28.010.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A good day in the office for <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nyckdevries?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@nyckdevries<\/a> \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n<p>The <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MahindraRacing?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MahindraRacing<\/a> driver tops the final session for today!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FIAFormulaE\/status\/1854557775659237625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Edoardo Mortara also impressed, completing a Mahindra one-two.
