Two big overtakes in Cape Town give da Costa the win and puts him back in the championship hunt after 5 of 16 rounds.
António Félix da Costa won the first ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race in South Africa on Saturday.
Points leader Pascal Wehrlein crashed out on the first lap, but left Cape Town with the championship lead after five of 16 rounds. After a slow start to his season, de Costa returned to form in the previous race in Hyderabad, India, with a third-place finish. But on a new track in Cape Town that saw Nissan’s Sacha Fenestraz win the pole with the fastest lap in Formula E history at an average speed of 154.987 kmh , Da Costa’s drive delivered the race victory.
