Antonio Felix da Costa secured consecutive victories in Portland, extending his streak of three consecutive races in Formula E. Meanwhile, the battle for the 2024 championship took an unexpected turn as Nick Cassidy, the points leader, failed to score for the second consecutive day. Porsche had a strong performance in the second race of the weekend in Portland, with da Costa claiming his fourth win of the season. Despite losing his front wing early in the race, teammate Pascal Wehrlein managed to secure fourth place. The race saw several position changes, but da Costa, Robin Frijns, and Jean-Eric Vergne consistently led the pack. Frijns was in the lead when the safety car came out, but da Costa quickly overtook him on the restart. Porsche instructed da Costa to maintain his lead to support Wehrlein’s chances of a good result. As the race entered its final stages, da Costa pulled away from the competition, securing the victory. Frijns finished in second place, while Evans, who had a penalty in the previous race, fought his way to third place. Wehrlein managed to hold onto fourth place, keeping him tied for second in the championship standings with Evans. Cassidy’s race was compromised by an incident that damaged his front wing, forcing him to make a pit stop for repairs. Despite hoping for a safety car to help his chances, Cassidy finished in 14th place.
