ABB FIA Formula E S9 - Cape Town ePrix

The ABB Formula E world championship has stormed into another new venue of the season; South Africa. The first-ever Cape Town ePrix saw the drivers get their primal faces on as they prepared for an electric rumble in the jungle.

The rumble in the jungle saw Pascal Wehrlein crash into the back of Sebastien Buemi, Edoardo Mortara's surrender, two Maserati drivers out of the race following a crash, and bold moves from Antonio Felix Da Costa. This is what the first-ever Cape Town ePrix sums up spectacularly.

In the end, Antonio Felix Da Costa wins the first-ever Cape Town ePrix while Jean-Eric Vergne finished 2nd and Nick Cassidy finished 3rd.

Although out from the race following a crash, Pascal Wehrlein leads the standings with 80 points while Jake Dennis is in 2nd with 62 points and Jean-Eric Vergne jumps to 3rd with 50 points.

The next race will be another Formula E first, the Sao Paulo ePrix this March 25th.
