A little more than a week after the E-Prix of Portland, there are still many things to analyze about the race held in the United States. Envision Racing‘s Nick Cassidy took his third win of the season and is now just one point behind Jake Dennis’ Avalanche Andretti, who leads the championship.

Starting from tenth on the grid, Cassidy once again played a masterful game of chess to make up positions in the opening laps. From there, he drove past his rivals to find himself in the lead.

“It was close,” Cassidy said of the battle with da Costa and Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti), who finished second. “The guys we’re racing, they’re the best,” he noted.

Andretti Dazzled

Avalanche Andretti was a fan favorite, running as a home race in Portland. Jake Dennis earned his first Julius Baer Pole Position of the season, beating Nissan’s Sacha Fenestraz in the Duel Finals.

Although Dennis was able to retake the championship lead before the E-Prix had even started – thanks to the three pole points handed out – he was unable to convert the first-place grid slot into another victory.

No Great Records

Being a new circuit, no great speeds were recorded. However, it only took the first practice session to break all kinds of records around the 3.221-kilometer circuit.

NEOM McLaren driver Rene Rast finished as the fastest, despite not being in the top five in any practice session this season, and set a time of 1m09.054s.

Rast became the first driver to break Sacha Fenestraz‘s all-time Formula E average speed record. It didn’t stop there, as Edoardo Mortara (Maserati MSG Racing) recorded the first 100 mph average lap in Formula E history.

Mahindra Back in the Points

It has been quite a turbulent year for the Mahindra Racing squad. Their season got off to a fantastic start when Lucas di Grassi took pole position and third place in Mexico City. However, as the GEN3 era has evolved, the team has had its ups and downs.

The squad excelled in Portland, as di Grassi got into the points for the first time since Mexico 11 rounds ago. Overall, Portland was a success.

Formula E returned to a historic race track that has hosted prestigious events such as IndyCar and NASCAR.
