Tokyo E-Prix 2025: Rain to dominate entire Tokyo double header, here's complete weather forecast for Formula E Round 8 and 9 races

Image credit: Formula E/X The excitement is building ahead of the next Formula E race as Japan gets ready to host the second season of the Tokyo E-Prix. But the weather forecast shows a 100 percent chance of rainfall on both Saturday and Sunday. This is enough to concern the Formula E drivers, as—despite the much-improved Gen3 Evo cars this year running on Hankook tyres—racing in rain comes with hard-to-overcome challenges and risks. However, the rain may skip the Round 9 race Sunday evening. Here's the complete weather forecast for the Tokyo Formula E race. Weather Forecast for Tokyo E-Prix Formula E Round 8, Friday - May 16 and Saturday – May 17 According to the weather in Tokyo is expected to remain pleasant at 21 degrees Celsius on Friday, though it will be a cloudy day. There are only slight chances of rain as the Formula E drivers take part in the First Free Practice session at 4 pm (local time) and 12:30 pm IST. The temperature will remain in the range of 18–20 degrees Celsius on Saturday. However, there is a 100 percent chance of rain throughout the day. Rain in the range of 2.6 mm to 3.3 mm is expected during the Second Free Practice at 8 am (local time) and the Qualifying race at 10:20 am (local time). The rain is expected to be much lighter, at 0.9 mm, during the main Round 8 race at 3:05 pm (local time), which will be broadcast in India at 11:35 am. Formula E Round 9, Sunday – May 18 The temperature will be in the range of 19–20 degrees Celsius on Sunday, while the rain will continue to be as heavy as the day before. There is a 100 percent chance of around 3.8 mm of rain during the Third Free Practice at 8 am (local time) and the Round 9 Qualifying at 10:20 am. But the good news is that no rain is predicted for the main Round 9 race, which will start at 3:05 pm (local time) and 11:35 am IST. Formula E Drivers on racing in wet conditions Mitch Evans told that it was 'very, very tricky' to race in wet conditions with the Hankook tyres in the recent races. He said, 'In qualifying it was like, I was terrible. Nothing, you can't wake them [the tyres] up. In the race I was way more comfortable from the start, but the pace difference between me and some other guys was huge. So yeah, you can quickly be two, three seconds a lap slower.'

So, it's more like surviving rather than racing in the wet. Obviously, street tracks are always challenging in the wet, and grip levels are low."

Formula E: Driver – plot overview Formula E: Driver offers unfiltered access to the lives of four electric car racers, combining exclusive on- and off-track footage to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the drama and intensity of Season 10. Produced by Astronaut Films, Driver opens in Mexico, as reigning champion Jake Dennis returns from a summer of celebrations, hungry to retain his title.

What the drivers and makers said about the show António Félix da Costa, who drives under No. 13, said about the show, 'This documentary takes you completely behind the scenes, giving fans a raw and unfiltered look at what it means to be a racing driver.

Jake Dennis added, 'Having the production team follow me throughout the entire season gave a true insight into what it's really like to be a Formula E driver—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Fans usually only see what happens on race day, but this series captures so much more. It's great to have documentaries like this that bring fans closer to the sport and show the reality of what it takes to compete at this level.' Dan Ticktum also said, 'Filming Formula E: Driver was pretty intense, but I really enjoyed it. I like the fact that Formula E and all of the guys at Astronaut were very keen on having drivers express who they are. A lot of the filming was very fun, and I was able to be myself a lot of the time. Hopefully, the series will give a good insight into what it's like being a Formula E driver , and I hope that it's successful so we can continue to film for years to come.' Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer, Formula E, said the series 'reveals the human stories behind the helmets of our hugely talented drivers that reach far beyond the sporting action on the track' She expressed her excitement as they bring the no-holds-barred, all-access perspective to a global audience on Prime Video.

He added, 'The whole world of Formula E is a fantastic, globetrotting circus with huge names like Porsche, Jaguar and Andretti fighting for the title. With this series, we wanted to try and show what it's really like for the drivers who, while they are living out their childhood dreams, are under constant pressure on the track and off it.'
