ABB FIA Formula E S9 - Portland ePrix

The ninth season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship welcomes another new location and it's situated in the Pacific Northwest; the US state of Oregon for the first-ever Portland ePrix.

From Nick Cassidy's five-place jump at the opening, Roberto Merhi's accident, to Nico Mueller's horrifying crash, the Portland ePrix really is "just west of weird" for drivers from start to finish, not to mention four added laps due to two incidents involved.

After a thrilling action in the Pacific Northwest that saw 403 overtakes, Nick Cassidy wins the Portland ePrix while Jake Dennis finished 2nd and Antonio Felix Da Costa finished 3rd.

After Portland, the gap between Dennis and Cassidy is now a point apart, 154 vs 153.

The next race is the two-part Rome ePrix this July 15-16.
