Cassidy concluded qualifying fifth fastest in the group, just ahead of compatriot Mitch Evans in the Jaguar, ensuring a ninth place starting slot for the E-Prix.
As the E-Prix got underway - Cassidy emerged as the most notable mover at the sharp end of the field on the opening lap of the E-Prix, moving himself up one place and behind team-mate Frijns. The double E-Prix winner set about harassing Nyck de Vries for sixth place, as the field settled into the 45 minute-plus-one-lap race.
Cassidy went for his double Attack Mode late in the race, and after a strong opening phase to the E-Prix, this strategy seemed to pay off as the Kiwi driver ran as high as seventh with 10 minutes remaining. However, a points finish wasn’t to be for Cassidy, who ended up 13th at the flag.
FIA Formula E will head to Rome, Italy for the next round of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on the 8-9 April.
