ABB FIA Formula E S8 FINAL

Amid the flooding that occurred in some parts of South Korea due to record rainfall, that didn't stop the ABB Formula E world championship from delivering the epic finale to the Gen2 era with the Seoul E-Prix as the final races of the season not only marked the end of the Gen2 era but the finale marked the 100th Formula E race in history.

Using the venue from the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the grand finale is where all bets are off as Stoffel Vandoorne and Mitch Evans are settling the score on who will be the champion.

Beginning the chaos-laden Race 1, Evans wins while Oliver Rowland finished 2nd and Lucas di Grassi finished 3rd. In the grand finale, which marked the 100th race in Formula E history, Edoardo Mortara wins while Stoffel Vandoorne finished 2nd and Jake Dennis finished 3rd.

After the Seoul finale, the ABB FIA Formula E Season 8 champion is none other than Stoffel Vandoorne! Vandoorne's win marked the second and final time Mercedes-EQ claimed the team championship title. What a way to say goodbye to the Gen2 era!

This is the end of the Gen2 era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship but a prelude to the most exciting Formula E coming soon as the Gen3 era promises to be jam-packed with action, thriller, drama, suspense, and tons of surprises in store for the world.

Will Season 9 become the turning point of the Formula E franchise? What surprises will the Gen3 era bring to the world? Only time will tell but for now, this is the end of Season 8. See you next season!
