While it is true that Formula E is a competition that does not accumulate years of tradition like other tournaments, the electric series is already starting to set interesting bases and records by the drivers participating in the competition.
The category celebrated its 100th circuit anniversary in Seoul last season and what is even more impressive is that there are now a handful of racers who have passed the 100-race milestone.
Lucas di Grassi, one of the standard bearers the sport has has played an important role, even before he had his first race. The Brazilian was one of the first to drive the Spark-Renault SRT_01E, testing it on a circuit in France just under a year before the inaugural event at the 2014 Beijing E-Prix.
He also won that first Formula E race, after a last-corner fight between Nico Prost and Nick Heidfeld dramatically knocked them both out of the lead.
