The final X-Prix of the Extreme E season is here this weekend with the Energy X-Prix hosted by Uruguay in South America.

It's the second straight race we've had on the continent after Chile held the Copper X-Prix last time out, and it's one where McLaren will be hoping to build on what was a positive showing over the weekend there before the curtain comes down on this campaign.

So far over the Energy X-Prix weekend, drivers Emma Gilmour and Tanner Foust have found themselves in the middle of the pack, with them sitting sixth in the intermediate standings ahead of Sunday's action.

Certainly, Saturday was one full of incidents, too, with a number of cars ending up on their roofs as drivers got to grips with what looks a very challenging track.

Looking ahead to today's events, we spoke to both Foust and Gilmour to get their thoughts on the circuit itself in Uruguay and the challenges it's providing:

"It's a pretty diabolical track," says Tanner.

"It's a beautiful area. The government is very supportive here - there's a local power company that's pretty proud of the sustainable efforts it's making and they're a sponsor of the event, so I think it's shedding light on some pretty cool things out here.

"The track itself started out as grass and we're starting to dig through the grass and find some dirt underneath which is forming a few holes in a fairly unpredictable way. That means, unfortunately, three out of the first five cars in qualifying ended up on their lids.

"It's had a lot of the other teams on their heels to basically get through the first qualifying round, and to get an assessment of where the track is."

"I think it's more similar to Chile than any of the other rounds. Chile is wide and there's more opportunity for racing and, in that way, this one hits the nail on the head, which is super fun. If you don't have to protect from behind, you can always be attacking the car in front of you, kind of like road racing.

"We've learned today that it's very easy to flip these Odysseys over so we'll see how racy people get. And there's a section of the track, unlike Chile, about in the middle where it is single file for sure. I say that in quote marks because with Extreme E sometimes the cars defy physics and people squeeze two cars through things that two cars shouldn't go through, but we'll see if that happens!

"I think it'll be a very racy track for the broadcast, though, which is great. It puts on a good show."

"Yeah, it's a difficult track," says Emma.

"I think to me I liken it a lot to Saudi in some ways because it's still quite high speed but the surface is so changeable. In Saudi when the sand hardened up, all those bumps sort of fixed. But that's the difficulty out there, you're really trying to read the road and work out where it's still going to keep sliding and where it's going to rip off something.

"We see the tracks so little - it's really, really difficult. You know, we saw it late on Friday afternoon. The track's degrading and it's quite different day to day so yeah, very different track from what we saw on Friday."
