In his rookie Formula E campaign, Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy turned multiple heads with two pole positions and two second place finishes at the Puebla E-Prix, and the second New York City race.
Cassidy preceded his NYC podium with a fighting fourth in the first of the weekend’s stateside races. Starting from pole, the Kiwi held the lead for 31 laps and resisted intense pressure from eventual race winner Maximilian Günther. Second place in race two saw Cassidy end a three-race-run made up of two podiums and a fourth place.
Nick Cassidy reflected on his maiden FIA Formula E season:
“My standout was probably the two poles – never easy to do!"
“I think, a pole position in this championship against the fastest drivers in the world, is a great achievement, so pretty proud of that one. New York is a fun track – I had a good weekend there and just loved the city.”
The 27-year-old will have to wait until July to go one better in NYC, and confirmed that his focus on this year’s, globetrotting 16-race series is pretty much all that has occupied his mind since the chequered flag fell last August in Berlin.
Both Cassidy, teammate Robin Frijns and the whole Envision Racing team will be hoping to bring home the gold when the championship reaches Seoul.
